There's an amazing new free service being offered to bloggers.

Some clever people have been busy over at PicScout Ltd. Their service, PicApp is still only in beta but it is available to all bloggers and website owners. PicApp has bought up a huge library of stock photos, not to mention high quality celebrity photos.

Above is an example of how PicApp photos will look on your blog or website. It's Adriana Lima unveiling the new BioLift Uplift Bra for Victoria's Secret in Los Angeles on March 4th.

PickApp lets us pick any of their photos and embed them in our websites. The embedding works just as simply as YouTube embedding.

So where is the catch? There is one of course. This service is not 'free' in the sense that ads are shown on the bottom of all photos. Advertisers pay for their product to be viewed but the blogger who publishes the photo does not see even a tiny cut of these revenues. The ad revenues all go to PicScout. PicScount uses this money to pay for more good quality photos. (Update: This may change in the near future and bloggers may get a cut based on how many times the photo was viewed on their site.)

It seems like a really great new resource for bloggers. PicScout is still a private company but they're probably being courted by much larger suitors already as we speak.
