iStockphoto in-depth case study

Came across this detailed case study written by Calgary blogger Kempton Lam and Nisan Gabbay, focused on the story of iStockphoto, and its evolution from a free community site into one of Alberta's biggest digital media success stories. iStockphoto is a Calgary-based online community for photographers and a source of high quality, low-cost stock assets. In early 2006, iStockphoto's library of over 1.1 million images and 23,000 contributors attracted Getty Images who acquired iStockphoto for $50 million in cash.
