General Stock Discussion / Has anyone seen this? Google is curating their own stock photo library
« on: August 10, 2012, 16:01 »
From the article...
We know how it goes. Youre working on that killer presentation or document and want to add images to go with your workbut lo and behold you cant seem to find the right stock photo, or any picture thats suitable. Oh, for the love of god, why would anyone use these images for anything?
On that note, Google is extending its stock image library for Google Drive which includes its Docs products as well as cloud storage and the search giant wants you to help pick the contents.
The company has a deal in place with Getty Images-owned Thinkstocks.com and is crowdsourcing the content, giving users the chance to nominate ten photos from the archive site that theyd like to see added to Googles collection.
Google says it will use the ideas to create and curate the next generation of our stock image library.
