TWiP 439 – OK Do This

Model Mayhem is a leading portfolio website for professional models and photographers. Using the popular “freemium” model, the service allows people to create profiles, upload photos and connect with other professionals for real­ world shoots.

However, many of the people using the service know that relying on Model Mayhem could bring a bit of “mayhem” to your shoot. Namely, flakiness, or the tendency of some people to just not show up for a gig. Not only is this behavior unprofessional, but it impacts everyone else involved with said gig. Luckily it looks like Model Mayhem has been listening, and has put in place a credit system it hopes will help wash those flakes away.

Also in this episode, one of TWiP’s newest advertisers, Eyefi, has acquired OKDOTHIS, an app I had the pleasure of discussing with the companys cofounder, my friend Jeremy Cowart back on TWiP Talks Episode 4. In today’s show the panel and I chat about the placement of OKDOTHIS within Eyefi, and the greater social photo sharing ecosystem.

And be sure to listen all the way to the end of the episode for a quick interview I did with a somewhat unconventional TWiP sponsor… Stride Health.
