How I Got Jason Statham to Visit My Blog
Photo site PicApp might prove useful for your blogging, especially if you’re looking for more legal-to-use pictures of famous people, like Jason Statham from the movie, The Bank Job. Though you often see pics of famous people on blogs, they’re usually there illegally. I read about it at GigaOm, and I think it makes for a nifty tool to add to the arsenal for certain types of blogs.
Mind you, I’ll probably never blog about Jason Statham again, unless he comments or something, and then, I’ll blog about the miracles of social media bringing him to me.
Bonus round: check out the nifty advertisement floating in the photo. Kind of a neat trick, eh?

I met the CEO at SXSW. An Israeli company and really cool folks. They are focused on building a product that is benefitial to bloggers, and lets them be better blogs. I like companies like that…
Chris,
Very cool app, I just went and played with it for a bit. Thanks for the tip.
I usually read you in my email… I hope it hasn’t been so long since I clicked over that a “congrats on the new look” is out of place. It’s… a little softer than the old design? but still has a real masculine look that works for you. Plus you’re using a very “now” blue in the banner. Just gorgeous on my Mac.
Regards,
Kelly
This post made my day. I have been trying to utilize flickr, while giving credit to the people who create the photos and art, but most of the time, it’s not possible. Picapp is another avenue and I’m glad to know now! THANKYOU for sharing that.
[…] reason even with the HTML editor switched off, I could not embed an image. But it does work as Chris Brogan shows on his blog - thanks for the reference to PicApp […]
Chris,
I can relate. I wanted to use Palmolive and Elvis in a recent post and while Flickr is great for CC oriented content, I wasn’t clear on where to turn for something that would have trademark material or be tied to Getty or other license houses. Picapp made that pretty much cut/paste simple. Even WordPress liked the script snippet!

Hey Chris.
This is awesome. I like the subliminal ad icon. It actually makes one curious to see what the heck is behind there. LOL.
By the way, I’m following you on Twitter and you mentioned letting you know if you are not following me. I tried the Direct Message link in my Twitter back office and wasn’t able to send you a message for some reason.
Anyhoo, cool post.
I just started following you today and I’m kicking myself for not finding about you sooner.
Fun stuff.
