My Photos Around the Web
So recently I stumbled upon some neat tools online, one in particular (FlickrDNA) that tells me who has been linking back to my photos on various websites and blogs. Since about 2004 I’ve been submitting my photos to Flickr.com, the best online photo management and sharing application in the world, where people all over the world can view the world I see through my cameras viewfinder. Through this medium, I give people a restricted license through Creative Commons – to share without alteration and proper credit given, my photos. It’s been interesting to see who’s used my photos to accompany their online writings. Here, I’ll list a few of those for you:

Technosailor Self Importance Test
You are most like Chris Pirillo!
You are most like Chris Pirillo. You dominate your brand and do quite well in marketing it. However, you go out of the way to place the focus on other people as much as possible as a decision on power and authority. You may have many followers, readers or fans but you rarely let this distract you from your mission and focus.
Take the ‘Technosailor Self Importance Test’ test here.

Forgive me father, for I have sinned…
…yea, I sold my soul to yet another social networking website. First it was deviantART, Flickr, then it was MySpace, now, Facebook. WHEN DOES IT ALL END? Lord help me, I can’t seem to keep my life private. But I’m enjoying it, hah. It’s great being in contact with friends and family members in this interactive way. Who cares if people know who I hang out with, where I work, and what photos I’ve taken (or appeared in). Life’s meant to be lived, to its fullest… just do it. If you know me, we’ve connected in some way, somewhere, look me up.

One of the best sets that night was performed by the world renown, musical geniuses, Rowan and Hastings:
