I only have used photos in pd, and yes, I know that CC and Flickr etc doesn't mean it's in the pd. What do you make of sites like Moguefile, Pixababy and RGB Photos that require no attribution? Thanks for the Hootsuite suggestion. I actually have an account. But I find that I add such a short comment to most photos that there's plenty of room for the full link on Twitter. I'm getting what you guys are telling me. I'm going to add links to the photos. I appreciate all the feedback. Thanks! P.S. Hitch, does archives.org have digital photos? I saw ebooks, text, video but couldn't find any photos. P.S.S. Do you know of any other pd sites like that? P.S.S.S. Thanks Last edited by Gregg Bell; 07-13-2014 at 03:17 PM.

Gregg:
You're confusing FREE with PD. Morguefile absolutely and positively requires that you post attribution for the creator. http://www.morguefile.com/about . You can use Pixababy images on social platforms, according to their terms, but I'd be careful. RGB Stock sometimes requires that you contact the image owner for permission. See this: http://www.rgbstock.com/faq and look down, to the licensing information. Even RGBstock doesn't warrant and represent that they are 100% sure that EVERY image is usable without permission. Really, Gregg: just use something like Hootsuite, or do the dreaded homework. There's no such thing as a free lunch, essentially, in the photographic, digital-age world. I mean, I use CC searches all the time, and find adequate images for articles, blog posts, etc. If you're posting about something from TV, say, look for media kits. Ditto for logos. But it's just a lot of work, essentially, to use images without having to do the trackdown sweat and obtain the necessary licenses, releases, yadda. Hitch |

Hey Hitch

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. Hitch |

BTW, Gregg, when you have multiple postscripts, you expand the P's, not the S's
![]() Ie: P.S. P.P.S. P.P.P.S. Etc. |

P.S. I'm linking all the photos now. P.P.S. I'll probably have a new issue soon that I'll need help with! P.S.S.S. Ah, just testing you! |
