That’s right, our latest picture of the week is a bug. Well, it’s more than that, so listen to the podcast. We would like to thank Ben Craig for his submission to the Flickr group.
The mash-up we talked about incorporated more than just Flickr, it had Google Maps, Wikipedia, and a lot of other geo related data. It’s called Ongmap.
Also, in the news and a mash-up, we talked about the storms happening in the Western U.S. and how a newspaper is using a Google Map/Flickr mash-up to show people photos of the devastation.
Again this week we discussed the important topic of stealing photos from Flickr, and the post that blogger Robert Scoble wrote about how he doesn’t have much concern about people swiping his photos. Though, professional photograhers like Lane Hartwell do have a problem with people taking her photos for their own gain, especially when they don’t even credit her. We want to thank Amy Lou Astolfi for joining our conversation.
Finally, our new question of the week is: How do you feel about people critiquing your photos on Flickr? Is it okay for people to critique photos without permission from the photographer?
You can leave your answer on the Flickr group or email it to us at help [Email address: help #AT# photosharepodcast.com - replace #AT# with @ ].
Talk to you next week!
I found the discussion on Copyright (Scoble and Hartwell) interesting and have already responded on my own blog. In the other reading I did around this issue, I found Plagiarism Today’s post (Analysis on The Lane Hartwell “Bubble” Controversy) one of the most balanced and very helpful. Hope you find it interesting too.
Thank you David for blogging our Podcast! This whole copyright issue is sure to become a heated discussion as time progresses and we welcome any views concerning it.
