Pre Friday Fun: UninspiredPhotoStock

I was looking for a snarky fun image to upload to my facebook profile. I did a quick google image search for Creative Commons things I could use and was struck by all the really good and inspiring photos coming from sites like iStockPhoto.

Since I couldn’t find a ‘boring’ picture of ‘boring’, I was inspired to make a fake image.  What’s more uninspiring than a plain grey image?

I even faked the watermark.

But then, like most things swirling in my brain I thought, “Why not?”

So I went over to Tumblr and started…  http://uninspiredphotostock.tumblr.com/

uninspiredphotostock, the website

All images are free now.  You can even submit your own images!  Once it get’s really popular I’ll start charging for it, and then setup a members only forum, and start charging for that too!  Heck I might even make a free downloadable .pdf that you have to fill out a form to get.  That form will also get you on my email newsletter list, selling you even more crap.  This is going to be really big!

Which my friend Carole didn’t believe so she said…

So Carole, here’s your post.

Now I’m off to start taking more uninspiring, plain and boring photos.  I’m going to be rich!

Oh, and that keyboard shot?  That’s the actual keyboard I used to create all of this!  Isn’t that inspiring?  #not

Go ahead, it’s ok…  Be Uninspired!

Facebook Page Basics: Setting the Default Tab

One of the best things about having a Facebook Page is the ability to direct a new visitor to any one of your Tabs first.  That means that anyone who has not yet LIKE’d your Page or not currently signed in to Facebook can be directed to your Wall, or Info, or Photos or any [...]

Slouching away from Social Media

What do you do if you are a BIG Brand, have heard you need to be in social media, but really don’t want to?   Let’s use US Airways as an example…
Today the airline really got my goat (so to speak).  This post isn’t about my beef with them as much as it’s about what I [...]

Linkedin to disable Tweets

Just received from my inbox, the following email…
Update about the Tweets application on LinkedIn

And I couldn’t agree more.  Automatically sending all your tweets to your Linkedin stream was and is a bad idea.  It’s just noise and you are adding to it.  It’s not going to get rid of all of them – but it [...]

Why Stop SOPA and PIPA?

STOP SOPA

I asked Facebook for suggestions of videos that explain the why in a more simple way – here’s some of their suggestions…
For the record (and irony), I could do that because SOPA isn’t a law (yet).

It’s cheaper to advertise within Facebook?

ad video

It might be.  I’ll have to check that out.
My friend Jeremy just sent me this video from Mashable.  Don’t know if you know this but you have a choice when running Facebook Ads.  When they click on your ad do they land somewhere on your website or somewhere on your Facebook Page?
 

While it MIGHT be [...]
