Dont knock Fotolia!!  very good site at the moment . Hope this partnership will grow into something.

Here we go again.

Another "strategic" partnership.

So what does this mean for contributors?

Will we be paid for the free images that Fotolia is giving away?

Who wants to volunteer and post a question on their forums?

They say it is free but I presume the cost will be in the web hosting fees.  It wouldn't benefit FT to give away credits.

looks nice
