Nothing's changing.  You just have your options off in the advanced search.

Yep. We haven't changed anything on the search results page in six or eight months.

The payouts are coming out still. I know its taking a lot of time but they're working hard at it and will get all the requested money out to everyone.

Well, Leaf has avoided some of the really lousy parts that were present in the Forometer. The green squares are showing up on account of something measurable, and not a secret algorithm. (The Forometer developer explained the algorithm that ran it to me once and I had a mild stroke.) And you aren't going to see people running into 'reputation deficits' and getting yellow and red squares (at least it looks that way). That was the thing about the Forometer that alienated people the most. Man, I get the cold shakes just thinking back to it...

Big day in microstock. The founder of the first and arguably still the most successful microstock agency, iStockphoto, has today announced his resignation.

Great news for Bruce - significant day for the industry - and a nervous day for everyone involved with iStock.

I'm pretty involved in iStock, and I'm not nervous.

I know the word 'culture' gets thrown around pretty loosely in regards to workplaces, but I can definitely say that our workplace has a culture. It's strong and vibrant and it's stayed with us. We've grown a lot over the last few years. There were twenty people in the office when I started. There are more than a hundred now. Throughout all that change and growth, the culture hasn't gone away. Our core team, people who have been together for years, will continue doing what we've always done. So I'm sad that I won't see my friend Bruce as often anymore, but I'm not nervous.

Yeah, I use the same handle everywhere I go. Unless there's already a Pynchon fan in which case my other name is Dwight Christmas.
