FairShare.cc - Track Your Creative Commons

FairShare is a solution that has just moved out of closed beta and which can now be readily used by the public at large. In general terms, it has the objective of letting anybody keep track of his creative commons and watch how his work spreads across the WWW.





That is accomplished in the following way. First of all, the individual must claim his work – IE, his blog, his articles and any other related piece that could be categorized as text work. Once this has been taken care of, the author has to state how it is that he wants to share his work. There are three main options to choose from, namely “Link back to me”, “Non-commercial usage is OK” and “Share as I do”. Upon doing so, a feed will show him the uses his work is being put to, and any modification or remix that might take place.

As you can see, the system is quite uncomplicated and easy to get to grips to. It is also wholly inexpensive, so that if you want to put it to the task and sleep easy on the fate of your own creations, you can do so right away.
