Flickr fanciers will soon be able to make cash out of the photos they post online following a secret deal inked with the world?s leading photo agency, Getty Images.

The two firms agreed yesterday that high-quality images posted on Yahoo!?s Flickr service could be cherry-picked by Getty editors searching for interesting photographs.

What a great idea!
