Image Provider Getty Images Inc is encouraging people to explore its online image
archive, choose an image that moves you, add the idea it inspires, and share it 
with other site users. For each comment the company will donate $10 to Friends of
the Global Fight against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

Getty Images is capitalising on the popularity of user-generated content and “social
software” such as Flickr and del.icio.us. It realises that many Internet users are
happy to add their thoughts, comments or creative input to online material, and 
is using this to generate funds for charity. Of course it is also encouraging people
to explore its archive and consider using its content commercially.
