i first heard about “Big Black Bag” from the one and only Scott Bourne {one of the strangest men on the internets} on one of the many podcasts he pops up on. now this might sound horrible to some {all you scott bourne fans}, but the fact that Mr Bourne was pushing it sorta put me off it. i mean his whole style of photography {not to mention dress sense} is very different to me, which is not bad thing, we’re just different. so mr bourne’s online photo needs might be as different to mine as our taste in Hawaiian shirts.
anyway, this response is from the 4th company in the 5 i emailed. it came after 13 hours and i appreciate the simple “to the point” reply.…

moving right along, we are now 3 for 5 in our responses! this next response is from the “underdog” of the group: Exposure Manager. when i did my initial research on this area a couple of months ago everyone was talking about zenfolio & smugmug, it was only a slight blip on the pulse that mentioned Exposure Manager.
so the response came after about 12 hours, and i am very impressed that the reply is inline within my email. top marks… check out the reply.

ok, proving the “you have not because you ask not” principal - the next reply to my very long email was from the very popular SmugMug. the reply i got was around 6 hours after i sent the email, which is still very prompt and is enough time to see that someone has actually read it. so even though they are “second” - so far this response is the best.
the smugmug support person took the time to answer every question “inline” within my email! awesome. they win points for that. so to see the amazing response keep reading….

now keep in mind that my email was sent on 19 September 2008 4:04:41 PM. the first reply i got was from Zenfolio - less than 5 minutes later - hmmmm….. prompt reply is one thing but…. so zenfolio win the award for the first reply but let’s have a look at their reply:
{note i am finally using the “insert more” tag so my blog page doesn’t assault your good sense with great big long entries…. so as they say in the blogging world: read the email after the jump…}
