CC Search Engine

Been very busy lately. But check this link http://search.creativecommons.org/ for a search engine that looks for only items published via Creative Commons. I especially like the fact that you can look up pictures that are available for reuse through Flickr. Are you making a website and you need a pic of a famous location? Look for it through this site using the flickr tab, and you do not have to worry about anybody sending their legal team after you!

This search engine is also an interesting way to find Creative Commons stories, novels, songs, and whatnot.

Start exploring the world of alternatives to regular copyright!

It's interesting to see how people who have Creative Commons novels are also selling their books the old fashioned way as well. I should email one of them and ask them how they are doing with this method.

I also want to try to find some resources discussing more popular authors other than Cory Doctorow that publishes some work through Creative Commons.

I really like this blog! It is a true blog -- a quick comment/entry here and there -- very nice. Rather hard to read with the dark background, but I do love the content. Nice job!
