Thought I would start a list of companies that have come and gone in our business:

1. Photospin

Brasilnut

I think "Veer" was the most disappointing car crash. I'm not sure if Yay are still going?

I closed my account with them last year. I knew it was coming. A long time ago they were a good money maker for me.

Corbis was taken over by Getty, IIRC.

Corbis/Veer was bought by Visual China Group who have a deal with Getty.

Wasn't the "Kodak" Blockchain thing still born? I expect there will be a lot of exciting blockchain ventures that never see a sale.

See: http://www.microstockgroup.com/sites-that-no-longer-exist, and I believe there was a thread a while back with a comprehensive list.

luckyoliver....yeah...they were very interesting and a lot of fun....
In their short life I actually got 3 or 4 payouts from them before they turned out the lights and closed the doors. They showed more potential than any micro that started the same time they did. And of course there are others who've stayed around all this time but are still zilch earners just like when they started, if not worse. What a weird industry!

I wonder how featurepics is still alive after all these years. Amazing.

I agree with you, Allyoucanstock was like that. :)
