I wasn't happy being one of the recepients of this email from Stock.XCHNG or SXC. I've been using SXC for four years now and I felt I wanted SXC just to be themselves, standalone, and not to merge with any companies. Maybe I was thinking that I could not use SXC the way I did. But I opened my account in their site to see the changes. What was stated in the email is true. There's not much changes in the site. The services are almost the same. But this time, it is much better because of the easy access to the premium photos in istockphoto. That is great. I have an enormous choices in photo now. Whenever I need photos, I don't search in SXC and Google only, but now in istockphoto as well.
