Google+ or facebook /May 19, 2013 by Richard

The other day I compared an identical “status/posts”, made at the same time by Arianna Huffington on Facebook and Google+.

On Facebook Arianna had 961 “like” and 37 comments out of 1.6 million followers
On Google+ Arianna had 61 “like” and 9 comments out of 2.2 million followers

Clearly facebook has a better penetration or is simply more often visited. What do you think?

Meanwhile as advertising becomes increasingly digital, publishers are demanding statistics to help them determine the success of their ads. Fortunately for advertisers, Google and Facebook are battling to offer their ad clients the most useful measurement solutions, improving available metrics and tools while they're at it.

As a photographer navigating the AI era, we are confronted with numerous fresh opportunities and, at the same time, potential challenges. The question looms: can we not only survive but also harness the full potential of these new possibilities, especially with the advent of mega digital cameras in this emerging photographic age?

Certainly, AI tools have enabled enthusiastic individuals to craft a diverse array of captivating artificial images. However, the question arises: can these creators truly be called photographers? In my view, the distinction lies in the ownership of photographs and the associated intellectual property rights. This consideration has made me considerably more discerning in terms of what and how I choose to publish my images.
