hehe! That's okay, I'm kind of hoping you misread and the article is about shutterstock (not shutterpoint), as that site really has my interest and I think it could do well if it's properly supported.

Not sure which issue it was, I'm assuming it was the most recent one. I was flipping through it at work because we got a 'special issue' with a hardcover for some reason because one of our products was tested...I'll have to check for sure, sorry for not knowing the particulars.
I think the cover said something about "DIGITAL SPECIAL" and has special sections on digital cameras, digital tv's and digital something else's. |
...for shutterpoint, though? |

I've understood all posts except aplasse's to be referring to shutterpoint.com.
I'm one click away from registering, but if I do go ahead it will only be a venue for selling my non-stock photos...the ones I don't want to sell for 20 cents!

| I haven't even checked it out myself, really have no reason to...but I know that in this month's Consumer Reports, there's an article in there about that page...so whatever its traffic is, it should be growing from the article. |

I'm bumping this, because I'm very interested...from what I understand, their download rate is incredibly low but I would love to hear from some people who have tried this...
Any success? |

Ok rather funny I’m the first person responding to my own post but I just discovered this section of the site which compares shutterpoint to DPChallenge of all things. Apparently we are comparable to a stock site. Comparision

| I've been reading the various discussions lately about stock photography and without giving my opinion, I was curious enough about some the points raised to start doing a little research. I found a site shutterpoint that allows you to set your own prices. Before you ask, there is a catch in that the site is set up like a membership site where you pay (although low rates) to have storage on their site – there is also a commission rate of 15%. I literally just found the site, so I have no idea yet how busy they are or if this business model is working successfully. I’m sure you guys will be all over it fact finding so I might just sit back and wait for the opinions to roll in! |
