We want to acknowledge and address the comments we’ve been receiving lately from our loyal bloggers who are using the Wordpress plugin.
The plugin was created for WordPress versions 2.7.x and therefore is not fully compatible with newer versions, which results in slower response time occasionally and errors in running image search queries.
We apologize for the inconvenience; we are working to complete a new version and hoping to update the plug-in with the new version by next week!
So bear with us until the update is ready to get the best images for your blog.
Contributors and members of BlogHer, the leading community hub for women, can now access millions of premium images from PicApp to include alongside editorial and creative content on their posts.
BlogHer is the leading participatory news, entertainment and information network for women online. It includes BlogHer.com, a community hub for bloggers with more than 54,000 members and 60 editors covering topics from politics, entertainment to food health and family, and the BlogHer Publishing Network of more than 2,500 qualified, contextually targeted sites reaching more than 15 million unique visitors per month. PicApp was selected as the only partner to be fully integrated into BlogHer in order to provide full size, premium and legal images to BlogHer publishers.
PicApp is proud to announce its partnership with Daum Communication, the largest ISP in Korea and to offer its Blog Platform, Tistory and its publishers with access to millions of images.
Tistory blog Platform launched in May 2006 is experiencing rapid growth and with over 250,000 users it keeping growing while attracting opinion leaders and trendsetters.
We are very excited to launch the relationship, this is a first step in expending PicApp into Asia.
To meet with the anticipated demand for local content PicApp is and will be adding additional images in the next couple of weeks.
Special thanks for the team at Daum Communication for their ongoing support and commitment.
To welcome our new partners and its publishers we have created this short introduction demo which walk thru the process of embedding a PicApp image in the Tistory Platform. Enjoy!
Eyal and I recently talked with Meredith Price Levitt from the Jerusalem Post about Picapp, its origin, value and how we see it developing further.
“… How does Picapp provide more than 20 million high-end copyrighted files from companies like Getty Images and Corbis and license them at no cost to themselves or bloggers?
Therein lies the revolutionary part. By exchanging content for advertising space, they are essentially paying for the images through on-line advertising. Instead of giving publishers and bloggers an image that can be stolen or misused, Picapp provides a link that allows users to paste the image of their choice - (with an advertisement underneath) - into their page or blog. Through this link, Picapp tracks images that are being used on-line and receives revenue from the advertising rather than the bloggers or publishers having to pay for expensive rights.”
Our WordPress plug-in is available on WP directory, we created this short demo video to show you how easy it is to add PicApp images straight from WP editor into your post.
The images are fully licensed, come from the most prestigious content partners such as Getty Images, Splash News, Corbis and alike, these are full size images that come tagged so they improve your SEO and indexing to drive more traffic to your site (beyond the obvious value of enriching your blog and enhancing readership:)
The number of downloads in the short time since the plug-in was added is really gratifying.
Help us spread the word: if you haven't yet– give it a try and if you have– let others know of it, Digg it; Blog it, Facebook it…
Download our plug-in and start adding images to your posts!
