TinEye is a new image protection program
TinEye: A possible way to protect your online images
It’s happened to a good many of us: Stolen blog posts. Have you been scraped? If you haven’t you’re among the minority. While Copyscape deals with text-based plagiarism, detecting the theft of images has been something of a conundrum. Until now. TinEye is a new image search that detects copies based on pixels, not on text. Users upload an image and TinEye searches its database for probable duplicates or derivatives.
Jonathan Bailey at PlagiarismToday posted a great review of the possibilities and current limitations of TinEye. This is technology that all photographers with a web presence should be interested in. Don’t get scraped, protect your online images.
Taiwan Photographers moves to WordPress
Carrie’s and her global mind in Asia, has moved her brainchild, Taiwan Photographers, to WordPress.com. Citing the considerable power of WordPress compared to Blogger (boo, hiss!) Taiwan Photographers now has a brand new bag. Stop by and see both Carrie and the new/revamped Taiwan Photographers.
duly noted!

Hi Steve,
TinEye sounds interesting! I wonder what it will make of my site, which posts quite a few photos from Flickr (all released under a Creative Commons license). I guess it will be useful for Flickr users to see where they’re work is being used. That can only be a good thing!

Hey Stevo,
Thanks very much for the shout-out. I really like what you’ve done with your site. It looks terrific and I’m way behind on your posts. I have some catching up to do this weekend!
