iSyndica Helps Users Safely 'Promote' Their Work


NASHUA, New Hampshire, September 28 /PRNewswire/ --

- Stock photographers and videographers can harness the power of social 
media through iSyndica's safe and easy service.

With many photographers struggling to make a name for themselves, online
visibility has become an indispensable professional tool. iSyndica's latest
feature, called "Promotion," enables users to securely distribute their
portfolio on social media and photo-sharing sites for free, thereby gaining
visibility without jeopardizing the rights to their work. Initial supported
sites include Flickr, Picasa, Facebook and Twitter. The feature will also be
available to videomakers for seven popular video destinations, including
BlipTV, Viddler, and YouTube.

Historically, image theft made professional photographers anxious about
sharing their images on social media sites. And for good reason - the Stock
Artists Alliance estimated in 2007 that such theft resulted in US$65 million
of lost revenue for the industry. iSyndica's Promotion feature addresses
these concerns in a safe and easy way: distributed photographs are
automatically watermarked and resized, effectively preventing their misuse.

"A year ago, I found out that several photos had been stolen from my
Flickr Account. I stopped putting my images online after that," says Lauren,
a professional photographer. "If you look at the case of (Icelandic
Photographer) Rebekka Guoleifsdottir, it can become very distressing. Some of
her images were sold on eBay by an unauthorized company. iSyndica's
definitely taking the right approach and its watermark will be effective."

"The new promotion functionality at iSyndica will greatly simplify a
process that many photographers already do manually as part of their branding
and marketing strategy. Even though it's a repetitive task, few photographers
would have considered trying to automate the entire process. It's just too
technically complex," commented Lee Torrens from the popular microstock blog
Microstock Diaries. "Now iSyndica has done it and made it easily accessible.
I expect it will be well received."
