    I had assumed it did this anyway, but great that it now does. Does it use the bitly account associated with the Google+ post we're posting to (as set within the F+M app)? For example, I have a different bitly account for my profile to my page so I can have different custom urls.

    Friends+Me I think it's okay having both, just wasn't sure if you were planning to add your own tracking service. Adding bit.ly if a user wants to use it is quite okay! :)

    Ian Anderson Gray bitly analytics is not available through f+m yet but will be in the future. I've decided to simplify F+M dramatically to make it accessible to all users. I am beginning to reduce roadmap because I have no resources to implement everything I planned to. So I'll simplify and start from there again.

    Friends+Me you're right to do this. It's difficult to please everyone. You do need to appease the power users to an extent, because it is people like us that are your advocates. However, for Friends+Me to be used by the masses, it needs to be easy to use and simplicity is key. Starting simply and then building upwards (whilst keeping an uncluttered UI) is definitely the way. I wish you all the success!

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted Most people have no idea that the way in which they are sharing images on #SocialMedia  or on their blogs could actually get them banned, blacklisted, or worse! In this next part of my Sharing Images Online series I take on the heavy task of explaining the legal side of sharing images in a simple way that everyone can understand.  Read the full post here:  http://dustn.tv/sharing-images-responsibly/ It basically boils down to this - you either have explicit written consent to use an image, or you don't. And if you use someone's copyrighted image because you just so happened to find it online you risk having your social media account deleted/banned or your website blacklisted! Let's all make the internet a better place for creators and curators alike and stop sharing images recklessly, and stop supporting those who knowingly (or unknowingly) do as well .  In the full post I tried to keep it as dead simple as
