Tetra Images has launched a new site of conceptual images based on all things that are American called Stock Photos America.  They will have images from stars and stripes to the wild west.  Check it out here .

Not sure when this happened, but 123RF now automatically broadcasting your image sales, uploads, and other goodies for you at your twitter account.  Log on to 123RF and go to your account, you will see a link that says "Link to Twitter".  If you are not a member of 123RF stock photography then sign up here .
