A few clicks back I coined the made up term “linktribution” to represent the recommended way of thanking someone for use of their open licensed content by linking back to the original. It is the least one can do, eh? Sadly it does not happen nearly enough, note this article on Psychology Today — not […]

Promoting and building tools for attribution of media may be one of the longest hobby horses running around this blog. I never got linktribution nor thanktribution to catch on. To me much of the problem with the way media reuse, copyright is taught is based on fear-if you use a copyrighted image, you will get […]
An endless theme in the CogDogBlog House, promoting the radical, all so time consuming habit (invisible sarcasm tags here) of giving other people attribution for what they share. Eight years ago I hoped I had coined linktribution. Never caught on. But since I’m on a flickr roll as it seems from the confusion of licensing […]
I do not know much about business. But I guess I have a lot to learn from the Gilfus Education Group: The Gilfus Education Group offers independent consulting, technical implementation and industry research services to educational institutions, industry investors and the educational companies that serve them.
