I noticed a dramatic shift in our designer rankings this morning and went to look at the rating and new votes. I noticed that things are very tight between our top stock agencies:

Dreamstime: 7.02 from 47 voters
Shutterstock: 6.98 form 55 voters
iStockPhoto: 6.97 from 58 voters
StockXpert: 6.95 from 25 voters
Fotolia: 6.95 from 43 voters

How are all these agencies so close. I certainly use Dreamstime and Fotolia much more than StockXpert. What are the problems you are seeing (as photographer or designers with iStockPhoto? Why isn't is a 10/10 like so many people in the comments seem to say.

Are you find the improved StockXpert algorithm to be helpful in finding images?

Any thought are certainly welcome.
