Comments for What's That Picture? http://www.whatsthatpicture.com Giving old photos new life Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:02:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 Comment on Respecting copyright of old photographs – the good, the bad, and the ugly by James http://www.whatsthatpicture.com/2012/09/respecting-copyright-old-photographs#comment-6979 James Thu, 28 Mar 2013 13:02:16 +0000 http://www.whatsthatpicture.com/?p=823#comment-6979 Here's a little anecdotal story that relates to this, based on something that happened yesterday. I was looking at my Flickr stats and saw that one image - http://www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture/5688040955/ - suddenly had a good number of referrers from Tumblr. The fact that I had seen this as a referrer to the original image on Flickr confirms that this was posted on Tumblr fully in accordance with the Creative Commons attribution license. But above and beyond that, when the person had posted it they had added a title and attributed it to the photographer Albert Monier, and dated it to 1953. This was information that I didn't know, so was a real benefit. Of course I would never have known all that if the license requirements had been ignored.

To be honest all the methods already exist within the API, so it's just a question of developing the right tools. I have lots of ideas, but I'm more of a hacker than a skilled developer. I wonder if the Commons institutes, perhaps with the support of Flickr/Yahoo, might get together to coordinate efforts and make something happen?

I would agree however that Flickr has seen an uptick in activity and attention from Yahoo lately, with a refresh of the interface and iPhone app - so it would seem there's some promise on the horizon. I haven't played with API in the direction of data export much - just batch writing - but I hope the API sees development in that direction. By the way, your Common stats - and your stats app - are excellent! Thank you.
