    Microstock agencies and social networks

    Microstock agencies are progressively entering in the social network arena to enhance their online business, spread the word, improve branding and for direct customer care.

    The biggest agencies are active, with different effort, on Twitter and Facebook. The first Facebook Applications and Twitter services have been launched. Let's see a list of the Twitter accounts, Facebook pages and new applications.

    I find the Twitter use of some agencies very useful. My personal approval goes to Shutterstock, Dreamstime, Cutcaster,  Snapixel, iStockphoto.

    Twitter

    Here a list of the Twitter accounts of the microstock agencies:

    • iStockphoto @istockhelp @istockitalia
    • Shutterstock @shutterstock
    • Fotolia @fotoliaUSA @fotoliaespana @fotolia (unused) @fotoliaUK (unused)
    • Dreamstime @dreamstime
    • Bigstockphoto @bigstockphoto
    • 123RF @123rf
    • Veer @veerupdate
    • Cutcaster @cutcaster
    • Crestock @crestock
    • Pixmac @pixmac
    • Panthermedia @panthermedia
    • Yaymicro @yaymicro
    • Clustershot @clustershot
    • Pixamba @pixamba
    • Snapixel @snapixel
    • Zymmetrical @zymmetrical
    • Mostphotos @mostphotos
    • Vivozoom @vivozoom
    • Photospin @photospin
    • Arctic Stock Images @ArcticStock

    Snapixel @snapixel permits to tweet your new uploads directly after the upload phase.

    Shutterstock @shutterstock has just launched Shuttertweet that gives you the ability to instantly send out tweets regarding new images added to your portfolio and/or about your daily download count. They added your referral ID to the Twitter URLs so if someone makes a purchase after clicking the link, you’ll make a referral commission.

    Twitter “macro” agencies

    This is a first list of the twitter accounts of macro (RM and RF)  stock agencies, thanks to @photojack Jack Hollingsworth‘s contribute (“but sadly most of them pretty inactive compared to their micro counterparts 🙂“)

    • Gettyimages @gettyimages @gettyimagesedit
    • Corbis @corbisimages @corbisoutline
    • Veer @veerupdate (already mentioned in the micro list for its marketplace)
    • Blendimages @blendimages
    • Photolibrary @photolibrary
    • Imagesources @imagesources
    • Stockshop @stockshop
    • Moodboard @moodboardblog
    • Photospin @photospin
    • Masterfile @masterfile
    • Inmagine @inmagineLLC
    • AllTo1 @allto1

    Facebook

    Here a list of the Facebook pages/groups of the microstock agencies:

    • iStockphoto http://www.facebook.com/pages/iStockphoto-Inc/20425620824
    • iStockphoto Italia http://www.facebook.com/istockitalia
    • Dreamstime http://www.facebook.com/dreamstime.us
    • Shutterstock http://www.facebook.com/Shutterstock
    • BigStockPhoto http://www.facebook.com/BigStockPhoto
    • Pixmac http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pixmaccom/47843782736
    • Panthermedia http://www.facebook.com/pages/PantherMedia-Stockagency-Fotocommunity/124146895258
    • Moodboard http://www.facebook.com/moodboard.stock.photography

    Other agencies opened a page or a group but there is a very low activity.

    dreamstime-facebook-appl

    Dreamstime has launched a Facebook application that allows members to connect their portfolios directly to their Facebook accounts. You can announce  your latest activities:  Downloads | Uploads | Sold photos | Blogs.

    pixmac-facebook-appl

    Pixmac has launched a similar application called My Pixmac. With this application, all Pixmac photographers can place their photo sales statistics in their Facebook profile or  send the 5 newest pictures from Pixmac to their Wall.
