I was doing some opting-opt double checks on partner programs and stumbled across this page:
http://www.apimages.com/MicrostockRFabout.aspx

Is this new? Or am I running WAY behind here?

This is the first I've heard of it.  Nice find.  They do have lots of my FT images.

The home page http://www.apimages.com/ says it's new, but who knows when it was actually updated.  Note I could only get the home page to work in IE, both firefox and chrom froze on me. 

I'll add it to the list soon.  http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/a-list-of-partner-programs/

There are clearly lots of agencies partnered with AP Images. I did a search and then looked at the copyright information under the image (if you hover over the thumbnail). (I put "Photographer" but there were specific names shown)

Copyright / Photographer / Corbis / AP Images
Copyright / Photographer / Corbis
Image Source via AP Images
PhotoAlto via AP Images
OJO Images via AP Images
Glow Images via AP Images
Photographer / Copyright Corbis / AP Images
Photographer / Copyright Photographer/Corbis/AP Images
Blend Images via AP Images

I didn't see any Fotolia images in the mix. On the right of any search result page you can see a list of suppliers. I scrolled through that list after doing a search for woman false eyelashes - trying to find the Fotolia image from the press release.

As an aside, (a) the site was very unstable - I'd try to move through the search and got lots of "Oops. Try again later" messages and (b) check out image 111104159343, an isolated (sort of) orange. Not sure why it says additional clearance might be needed for non-editorial uses - perhaps their site hasn't really embraced creative imagery. I also think it would get rejected from all the micro agencies for lighting and LCV :)

Does anyone who supplies AP images (via Blend or Image Source or...) know if they actually sell any creative images?

I understand now - MicrostockRF is a separate collection and you can't access it by the popup dialog from the main page's search box. If you select the Creative radio button there you have a choice of Royalty Free or Rights Managed - neither of which includes the Fotolia images.

You have to select MicrostockRF from the top menu on the Main page to get any of those images (I'd have thought they should be in with the other creative images - as a buyer, that's where I'd expect to find them). Sort of like the discount table round the back for the cheaper images...
