Title: Stocksy blog dead?
Post by: Petr Toman on July 15, 2013, 04:13

Was wondering, why there are no more updates on Stocksy blog. Last post on May 20.

I was always checking whats new, how they progress, news to announce, competitions etc.

Is it dead? Or just holidays :)

the forums are still going strong, perhaps that's where the action is?

But the forums are not visible to the public. I think their facebook page is more active.

I suspect they might just be realising that a blog is redundant. if you aren't posting something long and wordy (like a travel piece, review or recipe) then FB does just fine.

Maybe, I don´t know. But I would have thought that keeping it up to date, even just with the latest links and image promotions, would keep it interesting for anyone visiting the site.

But they are probably overwhelmed with work. It is amazing what they have achieved in such a short time frame.

Blogs are the first things to be sacrificed when things get busy. It looks bad though. Either delete it or update it, but an outdated blog doesnt look good, it raises questions, also on the buyer side.

I think the main activity/focus for promotion is now on the social media sites - g+, pinterest, FB. but the company is alive... :)

The Stocksy blog got a bit of a facelift and we've moved the platform.

We're active again using our new Tumblr blog as an extension of our social media campaigns and hopefully more: http://blog.stocksy.com (http://blog.stocksy.com)
