It’s that time of week once again children! That time wherein I help you squander your employer’s time by giving you things to do on the internet on Friday, as though you needed more :3 Enjoy!

You’re Killing the Internet

This is the best thing ever. It’s called See Something? Cite Something. and it’s about how lame people are killing the internet. Click on the image to view it and (if it’s still tiny) click again to see it full size. From the original blog post:

Consider this reference material for the next time you find an artist’s work on a website without attribution to all the hard work someone put in. Next time you see someone posting something that isn’t theirs on Tumblr or Flickr or DeviantArt or wherever else, let them know what you really think. That they are killing the internet. And of course, every time you do that, the Internet (which, let’s face it, is a kitten) sheds a single tear. And then dies because IT HAS BEEN KILLED BY STUPID PEOPLE.

This is something I have complained about a million times and it’s the reason I have stopped using Tumblr and unsubscribed to the Fred Flare blog. They are a huge lifestyle blog and are enormous offenders when it comes to culling things from the internet and linking only to themselves in the post content. Tacky!

I’ve had tons of things taken from my blogs too and it’s just patheti-sad. Hey fools! I know when you’re stealing my post ideas! I subscribe to your blog too! On the up side, when I see that someone has credited to me I usually try to thank them, leave a comment, or something similar. I also want to give special props to Tomopop, they’re a huge blog with tons of advertisers and they’ve cited me as a source two times. Not only does it make me happy, but it makes me feel more bonded to that blog. Maybe think about that next time you want to steal content ya lazies!

This Week in teh Interwebs 01/21/11

Posted by Ms. Bee in Random and tagged with , ,

Boyfriend I were talking a few days ago about how going through our Google Reader each morning was like our generation’s version of starting off the day with the paper. I find a lot of great, random stuff each week that I don’t have time to write up properly, so here’s a list of some of my favorite stories on other sites, aka This Week in teh Interwebs.

So that’s this week’s offerings :3 perhaps I’ll try and make this a regular feature so that the super win interwebs content I don’t get time to feature properly can still be shared. Also, it’s a great way to kill time at work on a Friday, dontchathink?
