Anyone tired of having to sell stock on one site, building a portfolio on another, and socializing on another network? Shouldn't there just be one integrated platform, that does all of these things? Why doesn't Flickr do stock or iStock make a social network?

Do you think making everything integrated and easier to use would result in more competition for you, or less?

Just because people are different, there are different options on the market. We currently work on one of them.

Personally,

I would like to see one great agency with:

the sales volume of SS
the image exclusivity of Dreamstime with corresponding higher commissions and search placement
the ease of upload of 123
the forum of SS 2+ years ago or istock around 2006-8
the reviewers of Lucky Oliver
and of course, a commission structure that makes us want to get out shooting more
