We had some initial nice coverage today on Reuters (watch the video).
From the countless feedbacks, and beta invitations requests we received, it seems that the topic of legal and hassle-free usage of high-end, copyrighted materials on blogs really excites many people. We are just as excited!
Corbis is a long time partner with a unique and high quality content offering that cover every topic one can think of.
We will be announcing the rest of picapp content partnerships, all designed and established to provide the world best bloggers with the world best content. Thank you so much for the huge interest. We will soon have more beta invites to distribute and we look forward to providing you, the publishers, with the best visual content to match your posts!

Mom, dad, don’t get too excited… This is yet another “brain child” type of baby and the name is - picapp.com!
After over a year of planning, patenting, designing, developing and establishing partnerships we are now almost ready to go. Every one is VERY excited and looks forward to the new born.
Working hand in hand with the world most prestigious content partners we have been noticing in the last 4 years that most of the visual content found online (when I say “most” I mean 90%!!) is some kind of a misuse or an infringement of copyright. The losses of potential revenues, for the professional content creators, was and still is huge. On the other hand, the need to use high end visual content online is just growing in exponential rates and online publishers need updated visual content to improve their readers experience. Does all this mean the battle for fair and legal use of content online is doomed? Is there no hope to enable publishers to “do the right thing” and still let content owners make a living so they can continue and create images that can make you smile or cry?
Well, there is much hope!
Very soon the world of professional online publishers will have full access to creative images and editorial feeds which were up untill now only made available to large media companies who could afford them.
The world of online image usage is going to change in a good way and if you read online articles \ blogs \ etc you will soon start to notice they just started looking much better.
Thank you for visiting picapp.com Blog!
