Flickr and Creative Commons

[gothick]

Since I licensed most of my photos on Flickr under a Creative Commons licence, I've had one used in an online news story, and just now I've received an email from a TV company (Banner Caswell) who want to use one of my photos in a forthcoming show (this one, for use in a show about colour blindness¹.)

Am I just lucky, or do the rest of you Flickr-using lot get things like this quite often, too?

¹ I don't even know how they found that particular photo. It's not as if it's tagged "traffic lights", or "colours", or whatever...

I'm still such a flickr nube, but I've been staggered with the kitten pics - can you make flickr notify you if pictures are posted with a particular tag because I think there must be a community out there with it set to kitten! Doesn't matter what time I upload, there are immediately a few views on most if not all of them, and comments too from people I don't (think I) know.

I should get to grips with it more though. I'll add that to my list for 'when I get to Canada a week on Sunday and my essay is handed in and Rose Queen and all the meetings I have lined up are done' *&)
