I thought it would be interesting to see what micros come up when you do a Google search for stock photography. As I'm in the UK I expect that my results would differ from those in other parts of the world. These results are just the micro stock agencies BTW. In order of how they were listed and only those that turned up on page one.

I'd be interested to see what comes up if you do the same search in the USA.
I must admit that I'm looking at Crestock in a new light based on those results. Also worthy of note that
Stock.xchng featured quite a lot too. Which is a free image site that is part of Stockxpert. Search results bring up a bunch of freebies with some paid for alternatives from the latter.
