Tonight I made a post on twitter about rewatching some of the snapfactory videos on Youtube. For those of you who don’t know snapfactory offers online videos showing photography techniques. While I was at it I added a #photography to it so that others interested in photography could find out about snapfactory if they didn’t know anything about it. A few moments later one of the bots that scours twitter or photography related posts; this one is called “hashphoto”, and retweets them, retweeted my post. Not a bad thing, it’ what helps drive twitter along and helps people find things without having to use Twitters search feature manually. I’ve not minded, but what I do mind is that this one particular bot links to an intermediary page that gives you an advertisement. It’s really obnoxious. I will not be subscribing to #hasphoto. You shouldn’t either.
