I just set up a squidoo page soley dedicated to information about money origami. I want some help from you guys (since this forum is definately the most knowledgable about origami in all shapes and sizes). I want you guys to tell me what you think of it and how I could improve it. For example, if you think that I should add more to it, just tell me what you want posted on there! Thanks!
I'm glad you like my squidoo lens, BUT I certainly cannot claim that I designed all these folds. I do know how to make a majority of them, but most of those pictures are from flickr. For example, j0nb0n is a current member on this forum and some of his work is posted up for display. Thanks for the feedback, Ray!
Lol, you know what that makes me think of? The moldy dollar bill I found in my room yesterday! Yeah, wouldn't that be something? Making origami with moldy money?
P.S. I'm not that much of a slob, I'm just your average 17 year old guy.
Hey My Funny Money, I am flattered that you enjoy my work enough to link to it on your squidoo page, but some people might not like that-you should probably ask for permission before posting up other people's pictures. That aside, it is a very nice page you set up! Keep up the good work!
I know what you mean, but then I thought about it...if somebody has gone through the effort to make it, picture it, upload it, and post it on flickr...why wouldn't they want their work to be seen?
Yes, there are probably a few people that might not like what I'm doing with their pictures. But, if they contact me and ask for me to remove it, I will get rid of it right away without any questions.
Yes, it is most likely true that virtually all people who post their pictures would be glad for you to host them on your squidoo-more publicity. But there are exceptions! Some people might not want you to have them on your web page, for whatever reason, and it is not fair to do stuff with their pictures without their permission.
And if you do post the pictures anyway, do you really expect those people to search around and see if anyone is putting their pictures up elsewhere on the web without their permission? Whether or not they would be happy to have you post their pics on your squidoo, it is still copyright infringement. And I'll be honest, it was a little unsettling seeing that you had some of my pictures up there without me knowing.
All it takes is a simple message on flickr. Bottom line, people will be a lot happier knowing where their pictures are showing up and they certainly have a right to know.
Ok, I see where you're coming from. Right now I'm stuck on a dial-up connection and flickr takes forever to load! Anyway, when I get to the library on monday I'll be able to post and ask for permission. Thanks for knockin' some sense into me, lol.
I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. Our currency is Rupiah. The length is a bit shorter than dollar bills. So I'll change Rp. 100,000 tomorrow for 11 US$ bills... lol
