When an aggregator links to a story or photo to drive traffic to their site, should we try to track the original source? Example- Gizmodo recently showcased a slide show of posters from the 501c http://www.826la.org the posters are a fund raiser for their work. I would like to see them get the "traffic" rather than a site that is using their work for traffic. What is the Best Practice for this? - nicefishfilms

man - good question. I really hope that at some point FF is able to integrate these kinds of features - I would love to try and make sure the original source was highlighted but most of the time when I add something I just don't have the time at that moment to make sure it is the original source - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

Today a visualization map/ image of the Social Media Landscape became popular but no reference was made of the Blog it came from.

I want to be clear that the FF post was appropriate, and a good example of relevant information sharing. Thank you to http://friendfeed.com/fruchter and http://friendfeed.com/corvida for the posts. - nicefishfilms
