I have already blogged about Snapvillage here and here. It is definately most anticipated of the new entries but also the most disappointing. No FTP, No IPTC and only 30% commission. It is only Beta so expect things to get better there.
Recommedation: Hold off for now till they at least offer FTP and IPTC.
Albumu: Weird name (better than Snapvillage though) but they do have FTP, IPTC and commissions of 50% or more.
In addition, they are trying to get critical mass of photos so they are giving contributors $25 if they upload 250 or more photos.
Recommendation: Uncertain but the initial offering of $25 for 250 makes it tempt it.

Geckostock: This technically isn't a new site as it is a rebranding of Raw Stock Images (RSI) which never really started. They also offer FTP, IPTC and 50% commission.
Recommendation: Uncertain but they are offering 50% so may be worth supporting.

ReplyDeleteI beleive they are dead.
ReplyDeleteSnapvillage is on the way out with Corbis transfering images to another site which they have acquired.
Not sure about Albumo. I think they are dead as well.
