one of my top-five pissymakers is not understanding technology. i feel like an old lady, and i literally hate getting schooled by 14 year olds about Facebook. and my foul mood at this moment can be linked directly to what the hell is the point of Tumblr?
every time i check the stats on my Flickr shots of Eloise, invariably, there are about a zillion (read: 5) Tumblr hits. people posting, reposting, reposting reposting Eloise pictures. while trying to find an answer as to how to get off this nightmare ride, i stumbled upon tinyeye.com. basically, its reverse lookup for your pictures.
long story short, worst idea ever. talk about a time waster, i spent over 2 hours on one picture alone; with blog entries, LiveJournal icons, and other Flickr users all posting it with no credit.
look, i get what i do is not original. you dress your dog up in costumes, you take pictures. my ultimate goal in life is to have Eloise get out there though, and to do that, i need people to know where to come for permission. thats all.
... additionally, i hate it when people post the picture and say she is their dog. and yes, it has happened.
i have met some awesome people through them asking for permission, and i always give it. and i have met some other awesome people when i ask them for credit or photo removal, and they are very nice. but i still dont get Tumblr!
what are other's opinions on this? let me know!
xo,
Bird
