[Commons-l] Another stock photo search engine - everystockphoto

[Brianna Laugher]

<http://everystockphoto.com/>

Apparently they recently did a revamp, a lot of their static pages are 404s.

They have substantial numbers of images from Wikipedia and Wikimedia
Commons (just do a search for either term and see).

They seem to extract the license OK (although could be good to check
some edge cases, like country-specific CC licenses), and for
'photographer' it appears they take the last uploader. compare
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:1cadarache-arrow.JPG> to
<http://everystockphoto.com/photo.php?imageId=1656186>. Strangely,
they completely ignore the description.

They have a very simple interface to let people provide comments, tags
and ratings. (I would dearly love to see simplified "tagging"/category
functionality, and search-integrated rating functionality, enabled on
Commons.)

I am very impressed by three links they provide on every page for
people to report bad images:

    *  Copyright Infringement
    * Inappropriate Content
    * Poor Quality

cheers,
Brianna
