iStockphoto

Why is it that all new technologies have to have an "i" in front of their name? *shakes fist at Apple*

But I digress...

I saw this website today and thought of the great photos people post on LJ. iStockphoto is a place where people can upload their photos and other people can buy them as "stock" photos. The photographer gets 20%, which isn't that much but if you don't mind people using your photos, it's like free money.

I saw the site listed in a Business Week article about "crowdsourcing". Apparently that's the new buzzword for companies going to consumer generated content for their ideas.
