It's a great idea.
One reason why:
Blogs and news services are pulling more and more photos from Flickr. If you can give the photogs on there an easy way to just let people come and get their pictures, without having to track down permission from them, you'd make life easier for the blog editors.
- brk 18y agoBlogs and news services are pulling more and more photos from Flickr. Because they don't want to pay for them on sites like iStockphoto that already exist to give photographers a way to market/sell their products?
- brandnewlow 18y agoNope. Because istockphoto doesn't have anything resembling "news" photos. Whereas Flickr's got lots of photos with real people in them. I've used istockphoto extensively. it's all models, references, icons etc. If I need a decent picture of the Mayor of Chicago at a recent festival, there might be 10 on Flickr. There won't be any on istockphoto.
