Bing Wallpaper Need Your Image
You might have missed the chance to get your photo on Bing.com past summer, but here is another great opportunity. Get your cameras ready and click some interesting digital image, as Microsoft has started The Home Sweet Homepage Photo Contest that will offer photographers globally with the chance to submit their photo for a competition whose winner would eventually be featured as the Bing wallpaper on January 6th, 2010.
Kristin Meldahl, from the Bing team explained -
The theme of this contest is “hometown pride.” It’s an opportunity for you to take photos that demonstrate the beauty of the places you live in and call home. The goal of the daily images on the Bing homepage is to inspire a sense of exploration and delight through a single stunning image that draws you in to the search adventure. So we’re looking for photos of your hometowns that do just that; draw people in and make them want to learn more and feel the pride you have for your town,”
“All of the details and information for the contest can be found on our Bing Facebook page (to go live at 9:00AM). The winner will be decided by a combination of popular votes in the first round, editorial selection before the finals, and by popular vote in the finals. The winner will be announced on December 21, with the winning photo appearing on the homepage on January 6, 2010,” Meldahl added.
Last contest had more than 10,000 entries and upwards of half a million votes, so Microsoft is hoping big this time too. It’s your time to shoot some more and get featured.

With havin so much content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from being ripped off? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
