Title: Buggy contributor app
Post by: Thomas from France on January 07, 2017, 03:57: Hi all,
I noticed some bugs in the SS Contributor App(iOS):
1/Timeline notifications are erratic (old approved picture messages appear,etc...)
2/ I used to share pictures via twitter but since several weeks, it doesn't work (only image ID appear in the tweet)

I wrote to support , waiting for a possible answer...
Am i the only one and also, did you notice that the twitter sharing set on main site is not available anymore ?

Thx

Sales information stop on Friday.
Can't comment the Twitter function, haven't used it for a while.

Post by: Newsfocus1 on January 07, 2017, 15:31: Twitter sharing of sets (on the actual site) is broken for me too. It just posts "just shared a set@shutterstock" with no link to the set. I use that feature a lot with a rolling programme of sharing sets. It's one of the few Social Media actions that I actually see results for e.g. in portfolio views (though that's broken as well!) and actual related sales.

Jon Oringer : "As we prepare Shutterstock for its next phase of growth, Marty's expertise, leadership skills, and unparalleled enthusiasm make him the right person to lead our technology organization."

What's next phase ? Other "exciting news" to come?

Thats how they describe themselves in the belief that its the quality of their IT that distinguishes them from the competition.....oh well maybe once. (and and anything described as tech is 100% overvalued)

If you look at his profile on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinbrodbeck) he seems to be around for 2 years and then move on. Possibly he's just very ambitious?

There's some stuff about his previous employer - they do background checks - in this article (https://www.constellationr.com/node/3137/vote/application/view/150).
