I really appreciate and am conscious of the sense of community provided by sites like flickr, and jpgmag, but in a noise to signal ratio world [where the signal is low] it's often difficult to get noticed, and noticed for the right reasons.
Sites like jpgmag, seem to have come from that need of recognition that so many folks hanker for. I wish I could say that I don't really suffer this, but hey I'm human and being ignored is something many humans don't shine to very well. So in the spirit of the online community that has developed over the last couple of years around photography, I ask both my readers to vote for my images on jpg mag.
While we're at it, please vote for barb, charlie, donina, gil hamish, mike.

Jayjuice, not sure, my votes were pretty much equal to the number of flickrnauts I'd expect WOULD vote, so hmmm, I did however get an e-mail from the team to say,
so who knows?

it's my belief that the voting was started to bring traffic and therefore subscriptions.
i choose not buy into the whole popularity/voting thing. and anyway, i doubt if i'd get many people voting for me. so i choose to upload my submissions at the last minute.

but have you noticed that jpgmag is almost more noise than flickr. they should have stuck with the flickr API. at least then the mass community would find the gold better..
