I blogged about photo copyrights a couple of weeks back, and I have some (potentially) good news for anyone who really disagrees with me and wants to hunt down and kill sue photo thieves!

It's called TinEye, and is in private beta - I've applied for an invite. Hopefully I'll get one soon. I really only want to play, not pursue. It's nice to see where my photos have landed out there on the web. Google can find some, but maybe this can find a few more? The video explains (mostly) everything.

If there is one social network type thing that I'm getting into more and more, it's FriendFeed. A lot of social networks really need a network of people you know to join as well, to make it more worthwhile. That does help in certain ways with FriendFeed too, but this one can be used as an explorer and way of making new friends.

I really use to it find new photos from Flickr and Flickr and Zooomr users. Using the Greasemonkey FriendFeed Filter script is something I highly recommend.

It's something that I liked from the outset as a concept, but has taken time for me to really get value out of it. As I've added people, so I receive news of what their friends are adding, and I have the option of subscribing to them too. If they are producing great photos, then that's what I do!

It's worth checking out, even if you just want a new way to find cool photos. By the way, it works a million times better than Flickr's own explore features, and unlike on Flickr, you can see all the photos a contact has added, not just the most recent five. And of course, feel free to add me as a friend if you do join up!

From my walk about today. More on Flickr
