• These guys are Rock 'n' Roll, Flickr To Add Online Photo Editing Tools Via Picnik:
  Fotoflexer may be my personal favorite among the many online photo editing tools, but Flickr has chosen Seattle-based Picnik (profile) to handle the long requested photo editing feature for Flickr users (see our review here).
  
  Business terms around the deal are not being disclosed at this time. Picnik is self funded to date.

  Similar John Cook, Stephen Shankland, Ryan Stewart and Picnik CEO Jonathan Sposato on the Picnik blog ("Yup, it´s true").
  Update on the numbers: Flickr showcases currently 1,38 billion images.

• Picade is also VERY close to opening its doors for business:
  Just to clarify, Picade places no restrictions on what/how/where it´s owner-members choose to license and market their work.
  However, Picade will only license images as RM, so contributors can only submit images that have never been in the RF world.
  Additionally Picade wants at least 25% of a photographer´s images to be exclusive to Picade.
