Shutterstock recently turned 7 years old!

Some highlights from Shutterstock’s press release:

Today, Shutterstock’s library has over 12 million stock images and more than 200,000 stock footage clips. The site is available in 10 languages to serve a worldwide community of image buyers, and a fast, accurate search engine ensures customers can quickly find the images they need.

July 2003: Shutterstock is founded by Jon Oringer, president and CEO, who uploads 30,000 stock photos to the site.

February 9, 2006: Shutterstock is the first among its competitors to expand into stock footage.

August 5, 2008: Shutterstock launches “On Demand” subscription plans to further meet the needs of image buyers.

It makes me very happy to report Shutterstock hits 7 – but it makes me sad that I’ve done so poorly since I was such a slacker in the past!
