Title: What are HP planning with snapfish?

http://stockimages.snapfish.com (http://stockimages.snapfish.com)

so what are they up to?


95 million members is a lot but I would guess most of them are not image buyers.

It's only open to US residents, and commission is 60% for 'rights simple' or 0.60 per 'micro usage' whatever that is.

Pay to play? No thanks. Bad enough that Getty does it. They will prey on the MWCs (moms with cameras) to get their $12. Any serious shooter who knows anything about stock will look on this as some kind of joke.

That is something different. HP has a "publisher program" where designer can upload greeting cards and the like to use for customers:

There is no "entrance fee", the designer can set the prices themselves and the like.
