Who Else?

[Baccus]

Who else finds it bizarre, exciting and even a little creepy when they do a search for a particular animal or plant and find their own pictures of that exact same species your trying to research?
A case in point I was looking up Notopala species of snail and low and behold 16 pictures that popped up where all mine

.
I think we could make a rather fun game of it, seeing what things we can look up and find our own pictures that we have taken in our tanks of the species in question.
So far mine is a total of 16 just for the notopala plus a few random pictures of my shrimp that also cropped up for some reason.

Well, they would have to be pictures that the person has uploaded right to the internet, right? If that's not the case, then I say yes, that is very creepy. lol

Nick:   I found it funnier to see this pic under the heading "two foot rebuild"

My feet are much nicer than that and I prefer pink gumboots.

oh dear I'm playing the game. I've just typed in laetacara curviceps into google to see if any pictures of mine come up. I've shared pictures of them plenty of times. Time to freak out maybe!!
 
 
They do say nothing on the internet is private. This is why they are teaching kids in schools now not to take naked pictures of themselves and share them. Once it gets online it's there forever.
Incidently, did you know, the moment you upload a photo to facebook you are no longer the owner of that photo? I found that out recently by mistake and it scared the you-know-what out of me. I'll not be sharing any more photo's on facebook again. It also got me thinking if that applies to the entire internet and does it apply to this website? Perhaps admin can advise us there as I'd like to know
 
 
EDIT:
OH MY ...
 
Type in Smokey Blushing Angel to google images and nearly every photo is mine 
 
 
FREAK OUT

That is true with a lot of sites.  The same thing if you send a picture to the BBC, it's no longer your copyright and they have permission to use as they see fit.
 
I use Flickr as (at the time, I'm not certain now), they never used to specify the same terms and you can deny the download of your pictures IIRC.

I use photobucket and I did notice a while back that they'd automaticly set my page to public and I'd not noticed. I changed it to private once I spotted it so I'm guessing that's how my  photo's got online ... the only other way they could have got there is from another forum I used to be a member of when my angels were babies. A couple of the photo's were of them when I first got them. One of the photo's contains the baby angel that brought Hexamita to my tank so it's possible that old forum is to blame

 

[Far_King]

Could be either.  Googlebots and MSNbots try to sniff through almost anything on the web,

The photos on this site are what pull them up in Google searches based on the title/key words here. Here's how I know. I had posted a new thread that was titled "watercolor in untraditional ways". I posted photos there. Later, I was trying to Google something and typed in untraditional watercolor or something similar and all my photos came up that I posted here. It did freak me out because we're talking to first page of Google images. It wasn't based on my photobucket, but specifically this site and what I named my post.

Just did another search under Borneo Suckers and found 8 pictures of mine
