What a time to be in the middle of all of this! My head is spinning so I'm trying to keep track...

Fotolia - announced Jan & Feb upload incentive and extended license
iStock - new site with higher prices & extended license
DT - All kinds of new licenses, exclusivity, new site
123 RF - new site launched
Shutterstock - Video Stock announced and now a new extended license

Trying to keep track - anyone else see things I missed?

I think youve covered the big news! But there will probably be more tomorrow!

Who knows whats going to happen now Getty have bought out Istock, I think they are very likely to have another big shakeup.

I think all the sites seem to be moving towards some kind of exclusivity, I wouldn't be suprised if Shutterstock were next.

Having the ability to select some images as exclusives wouldn't bother me much - I already do that. I try to keep a few images exclusive to each site - hoping it will help to generate at least a few sales at each one.

Going all exclusive would mean a lot of photogs having to choose where they will sell.

Logged into BigStock this morning - they have 14 new license options that you can opt in or out of

Another punch!
