  More likely to run the libraries with their existing staff.  Expect to see a few staff layoffs, get rid of corporate head office will show efficiencies.

Given that they would be paying goodwill for the name, they are unlikely to kill it off, just run it side by side.

StockXpert is my third best-selling so far this month, ahead of FT for a slight margin.

They sell mine.  Not as many as SS and IS but better than the other small sites.

Was thinking of this overnight.  If the merger goes ahead.  Getty will slowly kill it off.  You cant have premium (istock) and other (StockXpert) at the same price point especially when one gives them 80% and the other only 50%.  They cant even merge as the photos wont be upto the image standard of istock.

StockXpert is dead within 2 years if this goes ahead.
