Remember Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory? Back in those days the Wonka bar was the big thing. People lined the streets in an effort to get a golden ticket. Life was simple then. The current craze surrounding the iPhone is reminiscent of Wonka Bars.

I hope you got your goldent ticket last night. It would have cost you $500+ (USD).

Tucows is a cool company. Why? Because they used my photography on a recent update to one of their websites.

Tucows offers a TON of services people can use to run a business: Email, domain names, certificates, backoffice solutions, web publishing, and more. Check out their site.

Yesterday, the good people there asked me if they could use one of my photographs. I’ve had it on flickr since January, and apparently they found it and love it. Here’s the letter I got from their representative in Toronto:

Hey Jason,

My name is James and I work for Tucows in Toronto. We
absolutely love your picture of our squishycows here and we
are planning on using it on one of our websites. I see you
have released it under Creative Commons and that you’ve
said commercial use is okay.

Let me know if this is okay with you - we’ll credit you by
name of course.

James Koole
Communications Specialist
Tucows Inc.

Naturally, I gladly allowed them to use the squishycow photo. After all, it’s their cows I’m showing off. The photo can now be seen on the site: http://services.tucows.com

If you like it, let them know!
