A lot of people seem to pin stuff straight from google images or from tumblr. So instead of that original link to the artist, the pin is a link to tumblr and you are still faced with the same never ending trail to find the original artist. (And while some people DO search out the original artist/links, hundreds don't.) <br /><br />So while it is a great idea in theory, it doesn't always work in the execution.starfleetbratnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-7192763579260833622012-02-14T23:41:26.570-05:002012-02-14T23:41:26.570-05:00I'm happy your enjoying your stay on Pinterest...I'm happy your enjoying your stay on Pinterest.

I agree it has a lot of potential. <br /><br />Another nice feature is that I'd you delete a pin, any subsequent pins of that image by other people will disappear from their boards. So if there is a copyright infringement, so long as you delete the initial one, subsequent ones are fixed also. <br /><br />I wish I could create a nice big science-art board for Symbiartic, but for sure I'd need permissions.Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-52195993148506820432012-02-14T13:16:51.168-05:002012-02-14T13:16:51.168-05:00I agree Eric: I think what all of this amounts to ...I agree Eric: I think what all of this amounts to is likely the usual sall our data to marketers. I'm just curious if they plan in making a media deal like Twitpic did. <br /><br />That wouldn't stop me from using the site from my own work, but it does change what I would pin. They say in their terms you must have permission to pin, so I delete things I didn't have permission for; I 'm only going to pin my work and things already on Pinterest.Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-28841214073925558772012-02-14T11:42:47.574-05:002012-02-14T11:42:47.574-05:00I did find some clarification on the site: The rig...I did find some clarification on the site: The rights apply "only on, through or by means of the Site, Application or Services" So, I take that to mean no T Shirt sales by Pinterest.

I've been enjoying what you've put up so far (saw your boards yesterday) and I think it's fantastic to get artists on there directly.<br /><br />My sister uses it to get various artists out there, and support etsy shops she likes. I particularly like it for science links and to help drive people to photographers whose work I like. I've been experimenting with adding some new boards for things like costume research and old/bad movie fandom as well. <br /><br />I really dislike Tumblr's lack of attribution as well, but I do think it will continue to be useful for a lot of the things that Pinterest won't allow (there's an "obscenity" statement in there somewhere, though I haven't heard of anyone getting nabbed by that one yet).Leilahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01330721716461194738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-10881088149227140082012-02-13T19:45:18.868-05:002012-02-13T19:45:18.868-05:00It's stickier than I realized, Tygenco.
