Getty Images reported their fourth quarter numbers today. Not stellar. Of course the big news (or pending news) is when and if Getty will be sold. The gossip I hear is that offers are on the table today and a deal, if acceptable to the Getty board of directors, will come this month.

Ironically a deal could be announced just about on the anniversary date which Getty walked away from a deal with Jupiterimages last year!

I will not get into discussion about how our numbers for the fourth quarter will be, but I certainly think we are doing better than Getty Images - certainly strategically. We have several initiatives that will be rolling out in the next few weeks that are exciting in both the image and music categories as well as more good news about our so-called Jupiter Super Store project which will be called JupiterDigial or JupiterD (for short).

Clearly the winner in the image and digital content business will go to the company that best understands the next five to ten years. Needless to say this means that the company that understands and has the best Internet vision will be the winner. Need I say more?
