It's amazing they even responded at all! We need to be patient, this not like you and me just starting a website. They have time and money invested and have to do things right. I was surprised they even gave what they did. Sure it will be different as it should be and hey I may not fit the bill just yet but this is a huge positive for the industry! The 50/50 split I hope puts pressure on other sites. I am all for their success and if they offer video one day that would make me smile. We have been negative far to long because of the poor treatment we have gotten from IS. Now lets all take in a deep breath and wait.

There is still a huge Gap in mid-stock, iStock has messed that model up so I can see Stocksy slipping right in. With the 50/50 split and the team they have started I think this could gain some steam! We all know Getty will squeeze every last dime out of us and leave us for broke! Of course it will take work and time but the others just don't get it. Looks like they are more than willing to be a community and that is where iStock dropped the ball. I am all for this even if they never offer video.

Let's keep in mind we built iStock, we can do it again and even better this time this is not starting from scratch, yes it will take some time but we can do it!

I believe at the time Bruce wanted more time with his family, you can't put a price on that! so I forgive him and move on! This is fresh air people!

Don't fear the sell-out at this point!!! We need this now so lets be positive and change the industry! 50/50 sounds good to me!

This is GREAT news and here is why. Some people feel Bruce left the ship and screwed us over. Well my friends he sold for a good profit as we all might do. It takes a certain personality to build from the ground up and Bruce has a proven track record on this! He probably had a no compete clause when he sold and my guess it that has expired. The commission is very fair and if anyone can pull this off with the contacts and knowledge it is Bruce. This is a good bet and if the site looks great then I say iStock is in for continued ride down. Let all sign up and see what happens, it's about time we had something positive to talk about!!!

I deactivate a few in protest. My income is for video so that is where I am focused now. Moving to drop my exclusive status soon if needed. My family to feed needs come first.

Sean: Seems like we can lock this. We have a recent thread on G+, and the OP can be patronizing on his profile blog. Lobo: Posted By sjlocke: Seems like we can lock this. We have a recent thread on G+, and the OP can be patronizing on his profile blog. What a supernova of irony. How about you take a break fom the thread if your delicate sensibilities are wounded by another contributors post. Thanks for that. Ouch everyone is getting a little testy Now to see if all this noise has any teeth! 819

I could host on smugmug but matching the two sites would be a pain.

This is a slap to all photographers online! We are not in one group or another here. By letting Getty give away a now 12000 image library hurts every agency out there including Blend! This is short sided and there are better ways to work with Google! This smacks of no respect for any of our work. To sit by and watch this happen is a crime. People pay for content everyday ahhhh ShutterStock...the list goes on. I stand by this action and shame on Blend for helping in this!
