It wasn't pulling in sales, wheras iStock was, so they closed it long, long ago. Probably more than 10 years back.

"The iStockpro party may be packing up but that doesn't mean the good times are going anywhere. "
"The party's not really over. It's just getting started. "

I threw up a little bit in my mouth. How to spin something bad into something seemingly positive (while it's not). Exactly the thing I hate so much about marketing (and politics for that matter).
