I don't have a problem with the name so much. After all what was a Kodak, a Microsoft, a Coke at one time?

What troubles me more is this answer from their FAQ (Quotes mine):
-----------------------
"What is your marketing strategy?

Targeted marketing. Forget traditional ads in newspapers, photo journals and designer magazines. Internet marketing (e-WoM, google ads, blogs), direct marketing (b2b) and direct sales (b2b) is the way to go. "

--------------------
Isn't this the new-age marketing trumpeted by Lucky Oliver? Shunning traditional user publications, in my opinion, is a big mistake. Frankly, had I read this comment from their CEO I doubt I would have uploaded. Just too much speculation. Especially when seeing the big hitters regularly in the Photoshop user publications.

But now since I've got 205+ images there already I guess I'll keep on keeping on.
