What's with the stealing and defacing in this thread of images from local photographers that are clearly licensed on Flickr as CC-Attrib-NoDeriv-NonCom? Local "blog" encouraging users to steal from local photographers/artists. That's bad mojo.
You're violating the license that is, you know, the same one mnspeak uses (yes, that shiny link at the bottom of this very page) to protect its content from such bad behavior. Is this Bartel Cartel approved? Could of at least provided a link to a query for images with the right licenses since you were basically asking your users to alter and post what they found. Double standards are lose.
Did you get Ernesto's permission or should we all just expect a little less from our Minnesotan "40 under 40" web marketing consultants. Sure makes manifestos issued about NewMedia a lot less believable when they come from someone who disrespects the rights and work of a photographer from of all places an online social network community by putting unfunny text in horrible fonts on them and uploading to their own flickr account before cache-linking them to a commercial forum and all with no original author attribution.
And for the record that recent Minnesota fashion-wax thing just looked bizarre.
CC-Attrib-NoDeriv means just that, attribution of source and no altering.
If it was an honest dumb mistake, I would apologize to the photographers, hope your clients don't notice and for god's sakes if a blog picks up on your mistake, claim you were drinking and go to rehab for a week. Rehab is so totally hot right now.

I for one feel honored that one of my photos was subject to "stealing and defacing" in this thread. Hooray LOLcats Minneapolis!
»» Submitted by »»» alexis at 5:02 AM on May 31
some1regdmynym makes a good point, friends: Let's make sure we're using photos that the originators wouldn't mind us using. Feel free to use my mummified cat.
lol@the alexis one

Special thanks to the following for their use in a MNSpeak thread:
Mulad
Andrew Ciscel
There are others who's pictures are no longer coming up in Flickr. And that goes for everyone on this list.
I'm a marketing consultant, not a designer (clearly) or a lawyer. Had this been for commercial purposes or for a client, yes, one would consult with an attorney.
But thanks for singling me out and making individualized personalized attacks on a thread where many are participating. I'm very easy to contact. I'd be happy to meet you at any time for coffee if you want to talk specifics about anything.
If what you say is accurate -- and I'm not saying you're not spot on -- then the thread needs to be pulled. Period.
»» Submitted by »»» cjc at 8:15 AM on May 31
I changed the link at the top of the page to Flickr images that are explicitly CC licenses that allow changes and commercial uses, because that gives the widest leeway for reusing an image, but I think some1regdmynym is making a bigger fuss than is warranted, and was particularly prickish to attack Andrew. If anyone has an image on here they wish removed, I will do so, but somehow I don't think it will come up.
And to Ernesto.
Anyway, now that we're linked to images with the widest leeway, can we get back to posting Minneapolis LOLcats? They make me laugh.
This is easily one of my favorite mnspeak threads.

Wow...buzzkill much?
It's almost like Mom and Dad came out to the backyard to shush you when you're too loud after dark.
All my lolcats are of my kitten. Also, um, don't put your pictures on a public website like Flickr if you don't want other people to use them, champ.
CJC winz!

OK, what do I need to do to post my photobucket image link as an image..?
»» Submitted by »»» teucer at 12:53 PM on May 31
Photobucket, Picasaweb, and other image hosts usually give you the code you need but here's the general format:
<img src="http://AddressOf/YourImage">
Photobucket lists it in a field called "HTML Tag" under each image
»» Submitted by »»» wtfmn at 12:58 PM on May 31
Thanks Jeremy - I hadn't realized that MNSpeak accepted standard html syntax. I thought I was limited to the Bold/Italics/Link options. Doh.

What is up w/the spelling/grammar? Are you implying cats are dumb bunnies? Shades of Cute Overload.
Oh and that tabby cat on the quilt is looking for a belly-rubbin.

We had a Google RSS Reader thingy on the side of the page that was far more comprehensive. It must have gotten eaten in the crash last week, along with a lovely potato salad I was storing in MnSpeak for my lunch.
I am sure Matt will restore it soon.
I'm always wary of restored potato salad.
