i stock bought by gettyimages
so, what does this mean for the future of i stock photo?

There are already 600 message on iStock about this. I don't know whether to be scared or excited. Is this the big fish swallowing the threat or a acknowledgement of a new world.

I don't belong to iS or getty, but I have noticed in the most recent magazine I looked through (CAA's travel mag) that they are using images from all different stock sites, but getty images are prevalent in their book. The thing is, the images are not better (and in some case downright poor) than images of seen or microstock sites.
