Alamy Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We want to start pumping out more picture needs and gaps within our collection. How would you prefer to be told about these? Please answer the poll. Thanks Alamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreign Export Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I would prefer not to advertise the gaps! Picture needs by forum suits me too - prefer these to be genuine buyer needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gennadii Rybalov Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 For me - so do not report any gaps at all, but just some do not need to stick the sticks in the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Forum would be my first choice, e-mail second. What the heck is twitter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Limb Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Email for me - also allows Akamy to be more selective if required, like it or not we all specialise Please not Twitter (even if I do use it regularly) we do not want to over publicise the needs, that is outside the Alamy regulars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Forum is fine, at least people that keep alive the community suggest improvements help other and newbie can have a little reward for their effort. E-mail maybe can be used for more specific needs, when you know that someone has the access to the specific needs, just as an example the geographical advantage to live near where events, news, place of your interest are.

fotoDogue Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Definitely email. Plenty of contributors travel and it's much easier to check your email than browse the forums when traveling. I'm on Twitter but I don't check it every day. And, even though I'm following Alamy I'm not sure I always see your tweets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 E-mail with the "Pictured Needs" name in the title, is the best for ensuring it gets seen, followed by a special thread here, twitter is pointless unless the photographer sets up notifcations, but even then if like me you are on twitter, it's easy to miss things Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCSmith Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Email and forum with much more specificity. I've just moved to the New Hampshire seacoast area and I'm looking at all the searches for New Hampshire and Maine that appear to have gone unfulfilled even though there are thousands of images to choose from.
