Creative Commons has launched CCPlus to make it easy to both use a Creative Commons license for non-commercial use, and at the same time sell trough a company for commercial use. It would be great if Ipernity teamed up with one or more companies that sells photos for commercial use, and implemented CCPlus to make it easier for people who find a photo on ipernity they want to use commercially to buy that right. Having ipernity be a dead simple way of making money off of your photos could drive…

It is impossible to open a doc in a new window or tab from the "browser" in the sidebar. It's not a big issue, but it's been an annoyance for me at times, and if it's an easy fix I would like to see it changed! Have you ever been annoyed by this, or am I just wierd..? :)

Google has just announced its OpenSocial platform for int…

Dear Ipernity! I love this service, and I think you've done a great job with it! Finally I have found a better place for my pictures than Flickr! But there is one thing that is bothering me; Why do you demand that people log in before they can see the original sized version of my creative commons licensed photos, and why do I have to be a pro to see the original sized version of non-CCed photos? It is not your pictures to do what you want with, and when I spend so much of my monthly…
