Snapvillage has never been a success, and so far Veer marketplace doesn't take off either. Although Corbis used to be ahead of Getty in number of licensed images, Getty's revenue is several times higher. Unlike Corbis, Getty does adopt actively to microstock. Whether they do it actively enough time will show. I wonder where both these giants will be in several years. "It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change."
