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?

I believe in sharing. If you share with me and I share with you, then we are both better off than we would be it we had kept whatever it is to ourselves. Creative Commons is a license that protects my creative work like my writing and my podcasts, but allows me to share them how I want. I chose to not let someone else sell my work for money: Non-commercial license. People can use, remix, and republish my creative work in their creative work as long as they use the same license I did: Share-Alike. If they use my work, I would like them to give me credit for my part: Attribution.

Creative Common bridges the large chasm between copyrighted and public domain material. It allows you to choose how want to share your work. This short video does a great job of explaining the different licenses in very simple language.
