Darn I thought you were actually going to write something nice for a change, like congratulating louoates for getting his image on the front page of a stock site. But I was wrong.

Nice going Lou!

On the other hand. I agree with you about the name of the site. It's lame and weak.

Sure it could be called PoopSpectacular Images and what's in a name? Well the fact that aside from the people who could care less and aren't easily offended (which I'm one) the image of the site to the rest of the world, with a name like YayMicro lacks attraction and could potentially make people disinterested before they ever get to it.

As much as I liked the concept of Lucky Oliver, the organization, ftp ease and the way the site functioned and all that. Someone coming from a business background, may have had a problem with the abstract quirky carny theme.

Good luck YayMicro, you are going to need it to overcome a weak initial image. That's the negative first impression people will get from the name of the site, before they ever see the front page.
