My blog site (<a href="http://multiply.com" rel="nofollow">multiply.com</a>) does not allow it so I can't use picapp. Anyone care to create a competing site that does NOT use javascript?

You do now include an alternative image in feeds, but it is so small as to be unusable. Being in beta doesn’t really solve the major problem hat the technology is currently flawed.

PicApp is paying close attention to all feedbacks, making sure we implement them and improve our platform. Our main goal is to provide high-quality images to publishers in a legal, and simple manner. Something we know is missing today. So, keep letting us know what you think and we’ll keep listening! And hey, we are still in beta, so hang on :-) The PicApp Team Hi all,

Photodropper automatically searches Flickr for Creative Commons licensed images. It inserts the pic into your post, and provides the appropriate attribution. It's pretty seamless, and I don't have any complaints. I just signed up for a Picapp account to try it, but now I'm not sure if I want to use until Picapp gets some issues resolved.

Getty (who the images were held with) allowed the blanket use of all images in their library to picapp, even though they were only supposed to allow access to images they "wholly owned". In the meantime, Getty and PicApp were generating revenue from the use of my images through this service, but this revenue does not get passed on to the photographers. What a scam! I'll just keep on investing my time and money into new cameras and equipment and giving my work away for free... while Getty rakes in the revenue. Obviously Getty and picapp need the money more than I do! Seems interesting to note that picapp is owned by PicScout which looks for copyright infringement on the Internet. It's also good to see that the picapp logo is "because a pictures worth..." - "...nothing" in my case!

You CANNOT <i>transfer the right</i> to use the image to third parties is basically what it says. The TOS give you the right to "publish online," which is a very broad term encompassing static websites and RSS feeds. So, if you use the images in a blog and have an RSS for that blog, you are not violating the TOS as you are publishing online. It doesn’t look like there is any prohibition on syndication in the TOS.

Anyways, the best way to blog with pictures and images on site is to get specific permissions from certain graphics guys and gals to reprint the pictures/images. You can also get "reprint rights" from those looking for free exposure for their graphics, sort of like those programmers that make WP themes and make them available for free but leave their link at bottom of theme for traffic purposes. Sure beats having to worry about lawsuits and TOS infirngements. Thanks, Dan My NO IMAGES BLOG :) Oops, sorry about previous comment, it seems that my prior comment never got saved, and I was just testing something out here.
