Timmy's post of the stats for visits to e's new story prompted me to look at the stats for my personal website, something I haven't done for a year or so. I was surprised to see an unexpected spike in December ... it turns out that a picture from my blog was used on a thread on an on-line forum (and is being served from my blog, rather than being a copy of the pic).
Actually, I'm immensely flattered ... it's one of five images going with the text "when the human race becomes a multi-planet civilisation and the time comes to choose one object to symbolise earth > "My bet is, they'll choose something like this:" (http://www.eurotrib.com/story/2008/12/6/105656/897 - halfway down the thread)
The same image is also served to another site: http://leafclan-3clans.webs.com/traininggrounds.htm , which is fair enough.
I don't - AFAIK - know either of these people, so I assume they just picked the image up from a web search or something. I'm sure we've all done something similar ... it just comes as a bit of a surprise to me.
That's just the ones that are served from my site - no way of knowing how many times the image has been used by just copying it, of course. It does just go to show that once you let something loose on the web, there's no telling where it'll end up!
