alternate marketplace for professional photographers who would otherwise be overlooked by the traditional stock photography business model but do own content that is of broader interest than what local photographers service. SmugMug already does have a record describing the company on
Knowledge and I'm planning on doing a similar write-up on Zenfolio since I do believe this is a market segment that many professional and semi-professional photographers are definitely keenly interested in.
279:(listed), Photoshelter and Zenfolio (not listed) are the three largest companies offering professional portfolio services. In the more popular space of photo sharing sites, aside from the market leaders (Flickr, Picasa, Shutterfly, Snapfish - all listed), there are a ton of listings for companies that are virtually unknown and have barely any references (

Also one more thing I noticed as I was looking around for similar companies and how they are listed in
Knowledge: From what I can see the list of who is referenced and who is not does not seem to be dictated by notability at the moment. Examples are:
