The ImageSpan team is back at home now and recovering from
PDN PhotoPlus East and the PACA
International Conference in New York City.
This last week has felt like a “coming out” of sorts. The
start of our recent excitement was when we launched our new Content Tracker
last Wednesday, a feature that searches the Internet for any web sites using
any photos you’ve uploaded into LicenseStream (our Engineers are kicking off
the first “crawl” of the web and LicenseStream users should see results within
60 days).
Once images are found by Content Tracker, LicenseStream
provides the contact information of any infringing web sites and gives users
the ability to send emails requesting payment, takedown, photo credits or other
options. LicenseStream closes the circle on the whole process by providing the
licensing engine that then allows the site owner to pay you for the right to
license your photo.
Our LicenseStream Content Tracker feature has really struck
a chord in the photo community. Rob
Haggart at APhotoEditor.com was the
first blogger to get excited about this new feature and wrote about how “ImageSpan
May Change Stock Photography Forever.”
We also got coverage on PopPhoto
, a great video interview on PhotoBusinessNews
and great coverage on a number of other prominent sites including Photography
Bay and
Contentinople.
The “long story short” is that we’re seeing a great boost in
traffic and interest in LicenseStream and it’s been extremely gratifying to get
such great feedback from the market.
Check back later this week as we launch a series of blog
posts on marketing your work.
