The Eyes Have It

I am a strong advocate of the importance of visuals in web pages, believe images are very important to millennials' comprehension, and am a recent convert to the visual shorthand good graphic novels provide. A recent link from the Librarian in Black (there are two of us?) provides the following excellent locations for locating that perfect picture.

Flickr.com
Bigfoto.com
Fotogenika.net
FreeDigitalPhotos.net
FreePhotosBank.com
FreeMediaGoo.com
MorgueFile.com
PhotoRogue.com
SXC.hu
Picsearch.com

The original post from Search Engine Journal also mentions images from government agencies, a rich resource. I would add one more -- Microsoft Clip Art has moved beyond the weird little stick people and now contains good quality photographs that are easily searchable here or directly through the Office 2007 suite.

Do You Believe in Magic?


This sounds unbelievable to me but I can't wait to try it. Printer Anywhere claims you can send print jobs over the web to any shared printer, even if it's not on. Freaky.
