Title: New Article on Jon Oringer
Post by: rubyroo on February 15, 2013, 04:43
Two page article here from 13th February.  I guess most of us here already know the story on page one, but the second page is informative. 

It made me think of Lagereek's often repeated assertion that stock photography isn't where Jon's heart is.  Seems to me his heart is very much satisfied by his full immersion in the tech-development at SS.

Yes, thanks.
 “Shutterstock is a technology company in the business of finding images,” says Wyatt Jenkins, vice president of product. “That gives us an edge over competitors who view themselves as being in the content business.”
Interesting. It's really the search engine business. In the long run, as iStock self-destructs, SS's main competition may be Google. And that's kind of scary.
