Working on the Kinks

Building a website can be very hard work. Trust us ;-) It's amazing how many little things you have to take into account. But its amazing to see things come together, hear peoples' reactions and get pumped up for any new features to roll out or when things are fixed and work right. Anyone who has built a website knows exaclty what i am talking about.

I just wanted to give everyone an update as to where we stand and what is coming. We are working on the site as fast as we can and fixing some of the bugs people have been finding. The homepage flash player will hopefully have the correct size thumbnails looping through. The photo spotlight on the lower left hand side of the homepage will be populated by thumbnails soon. Just working on how we want to display them. The upload process is smoothing out as we gear up for bulk upload and upload that supports IPTC data. I'm very excited about this. Also we are in discussions on a few large content partnerships that should help us immediately get traction with our contact list of potential buyers. While I can't talk about specifics I'm excited that a few of them will pan out.

Things we have almost finished and are still tweaking include our powerful pricing algorithm, which will be very helpful to people who are not entirely sure how to price their content and takes into account a huge amount of data to compute a valid market price. We are constantly tinkering with the algo and are making progress and learning a lot from it. We are working on our watermark for images. We have it set up for video at the moment but images is proving to be trickier ;-) Won't be long though.

While we haven't quite opened up the site to outside people we are inviting people and planning to move to just a registration process in just a little bit so you will be able to cruise around the site with no restrictions.

Things are looking good and only getting better.
