I’ve just noticed that you can post directly to Tumblr from Flickr (looks like its new …. I havn’t seen it before).

I have no idea what the quality is like (how it is formatted, what size the image is etc …)

EDIT: More about this here from the Flickr blog: http://blog.flickr.net/en/2011/03/30/upload-once-share-everywhere/

Flickr, believe it or not, was originally set up as a service to provide screen captures from computers, another example of a technology created that became popular despite its intended origins (see also internet, the telephone etc …)

This is a pic from my brother Paul, he makes HD screengrabs from modern day computer games.

Collage: Defeating Censorship with User-Generated Content

Stenanographic tool to beat censorship, helping insert hidden messages into tweets and Flickr images

From Ars Technica:

Georgia Tech researchers have developed a tool called Collage that will allow Internet dissidents to insert hidden messages into Twitter posts and Flickr images in order to circumvent the censorship measures imposed by oppressive governments.

…

“This project offers a possible next step in the censorship arms race: rather than relying on a single system or set of proxies to circumvent censorship firewalls, we explore whether the vast deployment of sites that host user-generated content can breach these firewalls,” the project’s website explains. “We have developed Collage, which allows users to exchange messages through hidden channels in sites that host user-generated content.”

(Link To Arts Technica article)

It was also noted that hidden messages on social networks occured during the recent insident involving a Russian spy (and Facebook)!!

Software will be released in a few weeks, which I’m sure will have some meaningful, useful (and even creative) uses.
