AYFKMWTS?: Why I Think The Whole Photo Exclusivity Thing Is Stoopid

You know how some blogs and magazines have this policy where they won't post any projects that have ever, ever, ever, ever been included in any other mag or blog? Right, well I think that that whole policy is completely retarded.

If you don't follow them on Twitter, you're kind of crazy, and if you don't join in on their always lively #designTV chat every Monday from 11:30-1:30 EST you are REALLY stoopid.
