Going back to the OG post, doesn't really do much more than hey, spend fifteen seconds looking at the pretty picture.

Other blogs tend to link to wherever they see the main image, for example, this guy linked back to flowing data, not to the originator. http://willscullypower.wordpress.com/2009/01/11/browser-wars-cool-data-visualisation/ So the originator didn't benefit from the link love, as far as google is concerned. And so it goes. Last one from me on this topic, just to further illustrate the point.

In fact, I was pretty <a href="http://twitter.com/flowingdata/statuses/1102953682" rel="nofollow">happy</a> about it. They attributed the work to me, thousands visited FlowingData from Gizmodo, and thousands more visited came from other blogs that found me via Gizmodo. It's win-win. I think people who want to know more will look. I saw that and didn’t mind. In fact, I was pretty happy about it.

What if gizmodo had published a smaller static image and made it clear that flowing data had the bigger animated version that is well worth a look? example for you Nathan:

I guess people have different views on it and that is fine. My own view is that aggregators of content should show a "teaser" only and then people will visit the originator's site if their interest is piqued.

I _always_ link to the original image or blog post. I lead in with the credits a lot of the time. For example, I linked to PixelLabs in this post. Using images is standard practice across the Web - even with the biggest blogs in the world. No artist, designer, analyst, etc has ever asked that I take down one of their images. If anything, I get emails thanking me for the plug. @Tim – I’m not sure what you mean. I _always_ link to the original image or blog post. I lead in with the credits a lot of the time.

Nathan - hate to call you out on this, but you do copy images to flowing data. Perhaps better etiquette would be to make yourself a thumbnail and link to the original? if you did it in typical tufte style, that particular image probably wouldn’t have got voted up on reddit etc.
