I stumbled across Dan’s article and it could not have been more timely with Getty’s new web and mobile image products.  In 2007, Dan wrote an interesting article about the future of photo sharing sites and agencies. I am going to touch on some key points from his article.

I’m not trying to steal anything from Chase here. So today I would like every one of you to find a few photos that you have taken and post them. Here are the instructions from his site.

1. ‘Become a fan’ on my Facebook fan page. (NOT my personal page, but the FAN page. Follow that link…)
2. Under the “wall” tab in the ‘what’s on your mind’ window atop the page, write your name and a url if you’d like.
3. In that same window, directly below where you just wrote your name, click on the ‘add photos’ icon.
4. Upload your favorite mobile image. No limit to the number of entries. Anyone can enter, from anywhere in the world.
5. When you win, I’ll send you my iphone in the mail. Easy peasy.

[I'd love to see some community love here. Don't be a miser. Please share this....
