Via Harrison Weber:

"Lets forget about what we think of as a stock photography or stock design website. Lets create a new environment where creators can share things they’ve
done with other creators. Stocky will help us pool together our resources to
create a place of transparent, high quality collaboration. And in the spirt of
open source, everything is free for you, and free for them.


Through moderation, quality work is maintained, and designers can finally have a place
where they share all types of work with the community (photography, videos,
vectors, brushes, fonts, templates, sound files, etc.). Many designers already
do this in a small scale environment, and Stocky is here to unite
them.

Its important to note that I'm aware of Flickr's open source community, as well as all the stock sites out there. What makes Stocky different
is that it offers a chance to unite stock media in an environment that
encourages collaboration, give and take and community."
