Where is iStockPhoto based? Most companies have an infobox with this type of information, and one would improve this article. 71.197.131.165 06:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bit on rising prices

I want to make sure that portion of the article which I just wrote up is balanced; if someone is interested in writing a counterpoint, I'd be interested. I just feel like, as a designer, I've seen the site change a lot in mission and purpose in the last couple of years, and it no longer seems to fit the niche that it worked best at. The price increases need to be mentioned somewhere; we're paying three times as much as we were back in 2005 for the same quality of image. - Stick Fig 00:47, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Server issues

Any reason given for the instability of the site server? Drutt 19:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IP Double Standard?

I think this needs to be better explained in the article or at least referenced somewhere else than one individuals weblog. I read their rant-like entry and for the life of me, I still can't figure out how it's a double standard. I admit, the writer likely feels wronged over the image rejection, but it seems to me that offering 3 different generic versions of a generic picture would be counter-productive to a site like istockphoto: they would find themselves with many copies of photos instead of lots of original content thus reducing the overall demand for their images. Anyway, that's my take on the issue. I do find it hard to call it a "double standard" however, and definitely think that such a weasel-word filled statement needs better support. --ABQCat (talk) 07:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
