Service to close April 1
Adobe sent an email to their registered users that they will be closing their royalty free stock photo service, accessed through Adobe Bridge. Although this service was an excellent idea in theory, in practice we imagine it was hampered by being not totally obvious (many users do not use or are still not yet comfortable in Bridge), and competition from low-cost user-generated-content sites such as iStockPhoto. We don’t expect this signals a complete retreat by Adobe from the concept of being a content as well as application provider; just a strategic retrenchment (i.e. learn from your experience, and cutting your losses where it makes sense). A copy of the email - with links to their uninstaller - is included below. Click here for a FAQ on the service and its closing.
