Melcher on Fotomoto

(1/1)

PaulieWalnuts:
Melcher brings up some interesting points on Fotomoto.

Fotomoto offers the ability to commerce enable images on your own site, blog, etc.

The agency model seems a bit outdated for where internet commerce is headed. Maybe this isn't the solution but some new model will eventually displace agencies or at least significantly reduce their share.

Xalanx:
Now this looks really interesting. I might give it a shot.

Black Sheep:
i want to try Fotomoto in one of my travel sites but the first impression is it takes a huge load on the page speed, a lot of real estate in the screen (every photo will have links on top) and it's quite cumbersome to say the least, what about licences for instance ? can i specify RM or RF ? again, i've yet to put my hands seriously on Fotomoto but it's seems too simplicistic to add a link "download" without any warning about licence type and much more, it looks perfect for people making a site with stolen images rather than for professional photographers.
