The New Dark Room

So I pose the question is the New Dark Room closing? They have never been a great seller or a big player on any scale, but they continue to truck along trying to carve their piece of pie out of the stock world. When arrive at their homepage though, you see new updates from 2008 with that last item posted on their FRONT page in May of 2009. That is a long time for not touching your site. But this is not all the has me wondering. Recently they closed my account...which is fine sense I have never sold an image. But here is the kicker, my images still show up. But before you freak out, they do say "This photo isn't available for sale". Either way, I thought it is best to email Devin (the owner/admin guy) about the issue. Well the only way to get a hold of them is through their own contact address on their page...which is not a valid email address. All this brings me back to the question, did the New Dark Room turn out the lights? If you still have images up, let me know what you think.

    I've never heard of that site. All sounds a bit suspect to me. Sounds like you didn't lose any money though and that is a good thing.

    Yea, it was one of the first companies I joined before I knew really what I was doing. I would not recommend them.

Qidoou Smart Sport Watch Review (Affordable Watch for Fitness Gurus and Kids)

Image
I picked up the Qidoou Smart Sports Watch as I wanted something to track my fitness and allow me to see when people called without always grabbing my phone.  The watch is very light and in turn comfortable, which surprised me with the rubber wrist band.  Considering everything it does and the price point also makes a great watch for kids or teens.  My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and I had no issues connecting once I downloaded the 2 apps (FunRun & BTNotifications).  FunRun is the fitness tracker stuff and the BTNotifications is how your phone gets the message, calls, etc. I only used the apps to set up the phone after that really didn't need to access them, so I wish they could combine them into one app.  Battery life has lasted me all day, but you need to charge it nightly.  Several built-in apps, so you have a little something for everyone.  Don't expect it to be the same level as the high-end brands, but it does all the basic...

3-in-1 Water Cooler Dispenser HUB - Great for the Home or Office

Image
Kenmore has made it super easy to get fresh clean filtered water at your fingertips.  This 3 in 1 hub features instant HOT water, instant COLD water, and AMBIENT (i.e. for cooking).  The dispenser is a breeze with filling up any size pots, glasses, cups, etc as you just place your container and with the press of a button you start your pour.  Once you have the desired amount of water press the button again to stop the pour.  Additional features include a night light for dispensing when it is dark (great for the house) and a eco mode that saves energy when not in use. Now let's break down the filter, because let's faces it you are not buying this unless you want crystal clear water.  First off you can get filters directly at a great price from DRINKPOD who sells all kinds of filters (including ones for your fridge).  The filter has two mounting options, one inside the unit or one on the outside with a twist and lock feature.  Personally the ins...

Cutcaster Overhaul

Image
Cutcaster has never looked more like a professional stock site then they do now.  Over the holidays Cutcaster rolled out a massive update to the site.  If you have not been there in a while you will be shocked with its new look and color scheme.  First up the site is much faster and a lot easier to read.  They have still have the bid option on buying images, but have also expanded with subscription sales and pay per use.  As far as contributors go you will be happy to see that they have reorganized the upload page, your personal profile and basically everything else.  The best part is everything makes sense and is easy to find.  Hopefully this drastic improvement will lead to stronger site viewership and sales.  Great job to the Cutcaster team.
