Introducing the KEY TAG project! Show your love-for-linking with a special new key tag. WHY are the key tags special? OH. Because they're goregous and there aren't very many. LINKwithlove doesn't make money. Or have money. But that's not what it's about. It's about spreading the word that linking to the original creator is the best way to share intellectual property and inspiration online. And sharing is awesome.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: each key tag is actually TWO key tags and your mission is to break them apart and give one to someone who doesn't know about what it means to link with love. This campaign is about linking + sharing + spreading the word. Be the change. Support a great cause. And look amazing.
Front + back. They are a bright + professionally printed recycled plastic that come scored to break apart into TWO separate key tags. BAM! Get yours before they're gone! [$3 each] There are 200 tags available in ROUND2. THANK YOU SO MUCH - ROUND1 SOLD OUT IN 4 days!!
By TALKING about it - we can make sharing inspiration online better. Because there is better to do.
Key tags are available here. For less than a latte - you will be supporting a good cause*. And creating change. GET YOURS.
*like domain hosting + consulting.
These keytags are available from kalbarteski.com's online shop only.
Just a peek at a new campaign aimed at spreading the word about LINKwithlove.org. And sporting nice design (because doing the right thing looks good).
More info coming soon. YOU IN?
[ incredibly awesome GIVING CREDIT / STORM CLOUD poster created by erin loechner and pia bijkerk (with yvette's lovely handmade fonts!)-- view larger format here ] BUY yourself a print here.
Take a moment to read + appreciate this beautiful poster. Now nod your head in agreement. We couldn't have said it better. IT WAS AN uber AMAZING DAY when Design For Mankind's Erin Loechner sent LINKwithlove.org this message to share on her behalf:
The Internet is vast, vast, vast. And original sources are often impossible to find. I get that. As a blogger, I’ve come across dozens of images daily with no original source, almost as if they’ve appeared out of thin air. Yet someone, somewhere, took great pride in creating that image, and we need to celebrate that pride... as a community.
Thus, I’d encourage you to come up with your own protocol/photo technique and to link with love. Will you refuse to post all images without proper credit, period? Or will you come up with a SOS system of your own? Will you go as far as to boycott the use of social networking / bookmarking sites that don’t regulate original sourcing of images?
I’d love for everyone to receive the praise they so deserve in the best way possible.Let’s all hold ourselves to a higher standard, OK?
Oh, THANK YOU Erin. THANK YOU.
