Maybe some of the photos there require attribution, but I have never seen one.
That said, you have convinced me to include a link (and perhaps more--the title of the photo, the creator, license etc.). Why not. It's only fair.
One thing I still don't get though is how Hootsuite is going facilitate the process. To be displayed in the Twitter stream (which is what I want--like I showed in a previous post in this thread), most all images need to be modified to fit the Twitter ballpark parameters. How is just posting a link in Hootsuite going to do that?
Thanks, and thanks for coaxing me down this road to see this issue more clearly.

Have you
used Hootsuite? Just grab an image URL, put it in the shortener, and Bobs-yer-uncle. If you're trying to make an image fit some pre-existing size parameter, then I don't know what to tell you. Somehow, it seems like whatever I post, as long as it's not crazy-big, shows up. Landscape, Portrait, rectangle, square, whatever.
I mean, you do realize that people are reading these in Tweet-feed readers, right? It's not like they're going to see the entire image, no matter WHAT you do, without clicking on it anyway. Or, if they use a program like Hootsuite on the web, doing a hover-over.
I don't know the "how." I don't write web-apps, I'm busy enough doing my own thing. I just know it works. And saves an ENORMOUS amount of time over doing all that copy, trim, save, paste, yadda-yadda. Just put the image URL, itself (make sure you FIND the actual image url) into the shortener, and there you go.
