Daum Communications, the largest Internet service provider in Korea, has integrated the PicApp image-licensing plugin into Tistory, a blog platform that services over 300,000 publishers and receives 159 million page views per month.
The blog platform has been in operation since 2006 and has experienced rapid growth, according to its parent company. Daum caters to over 55 million global users, including over 80% of Korea’s population.
Bloggers using Tistory can now embed images from the PicApp inventory, which saves time and money while ensuring appropriate, legal image uses. PicApp currently represents over 20 million images, including collections by Getty Images, Corbis, Newscom, Splash News and others. Photo suppliers earn revenues from advertising displayed alongside each embedded image.
