I was wondering yesterday about a search engine that search all the agency sites for a keyword.
Is there any search engines like this?

I have some programming knowledge, and I waa thinking about writing a little search engine that searchs all the sites.

A search engine like this should been authorized by the agencies? Can I display prices and comparisions (i mean if an image is found on different agencies)?

What do you think about such a site?
Anyway, it is possible legally without permission from the agencies?
Worth it? Would it be usefull?

Hello for all microstock contributor!

I need some oppinion on this.

Suppose we have a stock management application which can do the followings:

• it's cloud based (a web platform)
• you upload the images to the application, add metadata (auto keywording) , and deploys to several agencies (now available only for ShutterStock and Dreamstime)
• you can track your image state.
• retrive statistics from the agencies (RPI, $/DL, charts, etc.)
• plus you have a work timer, a check-in check-out system to measure your worked time and proficiency of an image
• in short: this product is a combination of an autosubmitter and a microstock analytics software, all in a web platform (backs: just ShutterStock and Dreamstime available now)

All these features for 6 month free than perhaps 10-20$ fee per month. Unlimited upload, unlimited space.

My questions are:

• worth it for development? (80% is ready now)
• can we get audience with these features against picWorkFlow and Stock Submitter and Microstock Analytics ?
• would you use it with these features?
• special question: if you were the CEO, what should be your price plans ? ...tricky question indeed

Thanks for your opinions,
