Blog on Photoblogs

Just yesterday I came across a post on the Google Webmaster Central Blog which I though quite a few of you would find interesting.  Google has recently introduced a simple way to filter image search results based on the license associated with the image.  I think that they could have gone much further like how about not hiding the option on the advanced search page, and maybe make it default to “labelled for reuse” – but you have to start somewhere right?

I know that it’s not perfect, and that it still won’t stop anyone from just using your images willy-nilly, but every little tool helps, and besides it’s super simple to add the required tags to your photoblog.  I’ve already implemented a super simple version on my photoblog.  Check it out, you may find it useful.
