My Flickr RSSMy photos in action
Following on from my previous post about who is linking to my Flickr photos I decided to use the crawling power of Technorati and the storage of del.icio.us to take a closer look.
It only took a matter of minutes to perform the search on Technorati, store the pages within del.icio.us tagged with a specific tag, and then find the code to export the results onto this blog,
Voila! :-
This method does assume that wherever a photo is used there is an accompanying link to my area on Flickr. Generally it is a link on the image itself, or on the accompanying credit.
If anyone should wish to steal an image of mine and not link back to my Flickr stream at all then this isn't going to be any good at catching them out.
However, that's not what it's for at all. I'm not in the photography game to make money (not yet at least!), and I'm more than happy for anyone to use my images wherever they please (provided they follow the terms of my Creative Commons License).
This is simply to bolster my ego (wow, someone has actually decided to use one of my pics), and to provide moments of interesting serendipity, such as finding this interesting piece on innovation simply because they happened to use one of my pics.
Oh, and because it's fun and easy to do!

Thanks so much for letting folks use your work under the Creative Commons License! You definitely had some of the nicest shots of Eden.

I'm glad you enjoyed our blog post on innovation!
You're right -- I always end up finding interesting things when I go on an unrelated internet hunt.
