I figure nobody who actually reads business related photography blogs would actually go for this but it just frustrates me that companies keep getting more and more self entitled when it comes to photography.

Basically they are looking for thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of photographic content for free. Honestly I think it will be a slow death for the company as this is no way to gain content for a website. Look at the amount of negative publicity Ford has faced with there fiesta campaign website that pulls content from a flickr group they created. At least Ford didn’t ask people to go out and actually take specific photographs for them then provide a royalty free irrevocable license. I actually think the idea is pretty good but they will get both bad publicity from there tactics and the content they do provide will most likely be low quality and come in so slow they will never get off the ground.

Very funny but true in this day and age.
Yuck!
I thought I was the only one stupid enough to use a live.com e-mail address when I was starting up! I can't see these guys around for very long...
Thank you for the great information on starting up a biz. I am doing just that and your info has really helped. Thanks for sharing what you know with those of us that are just starting. Much appreciated!
This was a good suggestion that you put up here...dude…..hope that it benefits all the ones who land up here.
You did a great research about the product and really loved reading it. I must say I’ve no idea about agora pulse before and not even heard that word. While i’m writing this i am using buffer and hoot suite to monitor my social media’s. Both are good by the way I’ve to admit. I’m thinking to try agora and i will share my feedback after trying it.
