I've had an idea for an image/bit.ly service for a while ... it goes something like this:
- You upload a high/low res image
- You have to specify one of the creative commons or other standard licenses
- There's a short URL, API, geo-tagging, and sharing/embedding options
- Attribution is stamped on the image and included in the embed code
The idea is that journalists/citizen-journalists (and possibly artists/creatives) can share work and include much more explicit usage/attribution rules. News wires have access to a constant feed of good images.
Thoughts?
- kes 16y agoI like the idea, and I apologize for having nothing more productive to say other than 'sounds quite a bit like Flickr.' Flickr has all of these features. Their main purpose is to host photographs, but with the rise of info-graphics (good stuff and bad stuff here) and other forms of picture-media, there could be a good place for a service to take up this new market segment.
- callmeed 16y agoGood point re:Flickr ... my though is that it would have a much better signal-to-noise ratio for those seeking such images ...
