Getty Images officially launched Photos.com, more than five years after they acquired the domain as part of its acquisition of Jupitermedia Corporation (“Jupitermedia”) (NASDAQ: JUPM)
We reported back in February of 2009 that Jupitermedia Corporation (“Jupitermedia”) (NASDAQ: JUPM) sold Jupiter Images Corporation (“Jupiterimages”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jupitermedia, to Getty Images, Inc. for $96 million in cash.
Included in the purchase was the domain name Photos.com which pretty much sat in limbo since being acquired according to Screenshots.com
Today a reader of the domains got an email announcing the launch of Photos.com:
“”Introducing Photos.com by Getty Images
As a loyal friend of Getty Images, you already know the power of fine photography and quality images. Now, consider what you could do with high-quality, framed prints from the world’s finest photography collection—in your workspace, in your bedroom, or on that wall in the downstairs foyer.
The new Photos.com is live and features curated collections of hand-selected photographs—each chosen for its power to transform a room into something bigger—a place for inspiration, a place for tranquility, a place that’s exactly the room you want it to be.
Ready? Go.””
