Good news stockers! We’ve been busy working to improve our home page. We have new look and feel and a little bit more options you can choose from.
Visual similarity has always been the focus of StockPodium. We believe using combination of keyword search and image examples uploaded from your computer or just selected from the text search results can significantly shorten the time you spend searching for the right image. That’s why we feature the visual similarity image search on the home page showcasing with couple of image examples.
Lightboxes are industry standard and a helpful way to create collections of images that you can send to client for approval or save for later download. We’ve carefully selected some public lightboxes and feature them on the home page. We believe you can get inspired and may be assisted when selecting images for particular theme.
Home page estates is highly valued. We decided to place some information on our new home page regarding our charity efforts. It’s you that actually help us support worthy causes, that’s why we tought it’s great to have some charity initiatives posted on the home page.
Hope you like the redesign of StockPodium home page. We value your opinion so post as a line if you like it or have any suggestions!
StockPodium have just been featured in Forbes Bulgaria. It’s great exposure and also recognition for our efforts to make StockPodium a success.
If you know Bulgarian you actually will be able to read about our exciting story as startup – our ups and downs. It’s been exciting and challenging but worth it. Working on a startup in Bulgaria might look challenging, but it’s been great fun, and we are just in the beginning…
The whole interview thing was very exciting. We went back to the start and had to re-experience some of the pure startup days of our journey.
Mother’s Day is widely celebrated. We can track it’s origin back to the Greek spring festivals dedicated to Rhea, mother of some deities. Romans honored Cybele, the Great Mother of Gods. More recently Christians celebrate Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.
Mother’s Day is big in USA. It was first introduced by Anna Jarvis in efforts to memorialize the legacy of her mother. Early records show the idea of the holiday was to raise awareness on poor health conditions and peace promotion.
In the States the Mother’s day is probably the busiest day for family dining out – going to a restaurant with the family members, buying gifts, cards and flowers for the moms. As it’s celebrated the second Sunday of May, attending church is also very common activity. Usually women are given the pulpit to preach and tell stories of great mothers of the nation.
Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to say Thanks to your mom, to send some flowers or write a Thank-you-mom card. Do not miss the opportunity to take some Mother’s day pictures with your mom and family, that you can show around or put on Facebook.
We at StockPodium want to say Thanks to our moms – great women, that helped us be what we are, supported us during the years and continue to care and love us. Thank you, mom!
Moms are great, here’s a really funny video for moms on Facebook and Twitter:
