My paid Flickr account expired on August 6th. Despite the fact that my intention was to explore Google+-Picasa-Blogger connectivity for photos, the fact that there's been quite a bit of interest in the two photos I took of the burning car and the fact that I'd handed out a few business cards made me think that perhaps I should get the account back up in case anyone took a look.
I'm very glad I did; the paid account gives me access to stats and lets me see where my photos are being linked from. They're being linked from your run of the mill blogs like this guy but also a number of other more serious blog/news sites:
Economics Intelligence: 'The economics of riots and austerity'
Future Conscience: 'UK Riots: Are We Limiting Our Understanding of Violence?'
CommonDreams.org: 'Police and Thieves: Making Sense of the English Riots'
GOOD: '"If We Don't Riot, You Don't Listen to Us": The Case for Chaos'
NieuwsUit: 'Rellen in Engeland - Rellen in Manchester & Birmingham'
Youphil.com: 'Angleterre: la pauvreté, responsable des émeutes?' (currently featuring on their front page)
On top of that, the Wikipedia page about the riots features one of my images (albeit under slightly the wrong day- may have to edit that) with about a dozen Wiki news articles in various language using it.
That's... quite a bit more exposure than I'm used to.
