Are those real customer photos above or just a cheesy stock photo?

AC, those are the actual people who won! They are attractive people.

They’re also folks who have massive followings online (i.e. Darren Rowse has 148k followers on Twitter) so they’re going to have a few more ballots in the box than us regular folks. :)

Full credit to them for building that audience – no sour grapes on my part!

I’m betting those are their real photos, though they do almost look stock… But sounds like they are all internet entrepreneurs, the type of people that would go out and get professional photos taken like this!

Michael Port 31 Oct 11

Hi guys, yes, they are real photos.

It’s Michael Port here, by the way.

Although, I have lost a lot of hair since that picture was taken. In my next round of photos I’m sure I’ll look like Darren in his.

Have a great day.

Congratulations.. hope to have one of those prizes too..

Yeah, competing with public figures is why I didn’t even bother. And I fully understand Pareto’s in play here, meaning there’s no need to convince me to bother because it’s not worth the effort.
