Linktribution

I learned a new word today from Alan Levine.

Linktribution » CogDogBlog

So I tossed out a new word — Linktribution– attribution via a web link, or offering a “linktribute”. Corny, silly word game. Dave liked it. He was even faster to the blog.

Ok, so it’s not a real word . . . yet. However, it makes sense in the Creative Commons blogosphere. Unless it is in the public domain, things shared on the internet want at least credit. Can’t the attribution just be a link - linktribution? How does this affect student attribution for sources used on their research? What do you think, yeah or nay?
