Re: [applekeynote] New Image Resource Coming!

Er, I actually sent an email about it to my local MUG a few days ago. Daring Fireball’s John Gruber blogged about it, raving and raving.

Make sure you keep an eye on Life.com

Nothing is happening on the site yet but I guess soon.

Google is going to offer the Life Magazine archive for FREE (with  
ongoing new photos).

I assume if you want to use them for commercial purposes they will be  
happy to charge you a few bucks.
The days of the gouging stock photo companies is soon over. Getty!  
Bwaaahahaaaa.

Isn't it nice that a company like Google uses some of it's profits to  
buy an asset like
the Life archive and instead of hording it and charging hundreds per  
image (old school) they think of a new model of doing business.
One where it's free for most folks and affordable when you do want to  
use it for professional use.
The volume of use due to affordability makes them the $.
Genius!
