Smithsonian copyright-free images on Flickr
June 19, 2008 Category: Uncategorized No Comments »
Carl sez, "The Smithsonian is up and running on Flickr Commons ... the photos are all labeled "no known copyright restrictions" and the photos are high-res. I was particularly intrigued by the Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology, with photos of famous scientists and inventors.
We should all congratulate the Smithsonian on a *big* step forward!"

Fotolia Offers Free Images on Microsoft Office to Lure New Customers

Fotolia, the stock images marketplace, has already partnered with sites like Moo for direct integration of image availability, a benefit which is passed along to end users. Staying in line with this particular objective, Fotolia has made its image library available through Microsoft Office Online.
This partnership has resulted in more than 500 images and illustrations becoming available to Microsoft Office Online users for free. 500 images may seem like a small amount, but Fotolia expects to expand on this initial offering as time goes on.
Good for Fotolia. While the images are free to use with Microsoft Office, Fotolia is really hoping to lure in some potential customers. There are direct link options for users to go to Fotolia’s website in order to purchase high resolution images for use beyond Microsoft Office.
It’s a handy partnership to have, and it also speaks to Microsoft’s newly revised focus on particular search verticals, though the inclusion of Fotolia’s stock images isn’t an overarching benefit in this regard. Nevertheless, Microsoft’s recent closing of Live Books and implemented travel search vertical resulting from its acquisition of Farecast.
