Morawski & Company Business Development for a Left Brain World Through Social Media

Did you Know?

After watching this presentation I was reminded of a saying from years gone by, “The faster I go the behinder I get”. The pace of progress is relentless. The pace of competition is relentless. The pace of change is relentless.

 

 

Either we change, adapt and learn or we’re going to be run over by the bus. Good words to remember for anyone who works in the creative business.

See who is using your images online.

Ever want to find out all the places on the web where your images are being used? A new service, www.tineye.com , might do the trick. Developed by Idee Inc., they are the same folks who do work for many stock image agencies and Adobe. Upload an image and within seconds the site does a reverse image lookup, scouring the web for all exact images and even similar images. I did a sample image search on a Mustang Ad shot by Roy Ritchie. Here’s the image that I uploaded:

 

And here are the results that were returned. 

 

You can see that the software is sophisticated enough to find images that are similar. In fact this is the exact same image just color shifted.

Unfortunately, Tineye is not completely foolproof. It did find the image that was running on the Money Talks blog.

It also completely missed the original article that the image appeared in on FastCompany’s web site.

 

The Tineye page states the software is in Beta, so we can only assume that it will get stronger as time goes by. In the meantime, this does provide a very good first step in an image lookup process.

Be a Thanksgiving Economic Indicator

Thanksgiving. It's a great time of year filled with so many fond memories. But, when you're sitting around the table and the conversation eventually drifts to business, it is very easy to slide into a game of one-upmanship...or rather downmanship. "Well, if you think your business is bad you should hear what happened to Uncle Jim's job and company". Etc., Etc. You get the drift.

My firend, Charlie Wollborg loves Thanksgiving. He posted this video on how we can each be a Thanksgiving Economic Indicator. Watch.

IT"S THANKSGIVING! Have a great day. Remember the glass is half full and legends are not made when times are good. If that was the case, anybody could be a legend.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
