Team Offsite: We Eat, Sleep and Breathe SnapVillage
      



 
The SnapVillage Team recently ventured out of the office for a little bonding and brainstorming on Washington’s Pacific Coast. We took two full days to talk about where we’ve been and where we’re going in the rest of 2008 and beyond.

Brian, our content guy, thought a Polar Bear Swim would be a good “ice breaker” [...]

Needed to look out the window did they? Was that before or after they pulled their heads out of their asses.

I've never come across such a bunch of time wasters in all my life and it's only got worse as far as I can see.

On a positive note, I hope they had a lovely time!

Ahh give them a break guys, they have a target niche market they aim for and at least they aren't trying to make SV a carbon copy of all other new MS sites out there.

I personally don't mind their interface now that I'm more used to it. Clearly it was designed with making the process as simple as possible for the buyers without all the myriad of complicated options that we have on other sites, without making it silly like Lucky Oliver did.

Also as far as their upload process I also don't mind, would be good to make it say up to 10 images at a time and for it not to time out but otherwise with their useful set groupings I find uploading there a whole lot easier then iStock.

Also my sales are picking up there and I can see them pushing out StockXpert out of my personal big6, over the new few months or so....

Also no I don't work or ever intend to work for them, just an impartial view I prefer to reserve my wrath for sites like Albumo and LO that promised and never delivered...

I pulled out about a week ago.  The upload system and my computer didn't like each other.  Not to mention it took almost 2 weeks to get 5 images reviewed.  Between the upload interface, slow sales and review time I'm done with SV for now.  I may go back in 6 months or so as things improve I hope.

Alternate idea for a photo caption from the SV offsite:

So, it is a bit chilly here, shall we have our next free holiday in Bali or Hawaii?  I am sure we could come up with even more crackpot brainstorming ideas in a warmer climate.
