How Infographics Are Ruining The Web - Neatorama

We can't post a quote from this (or any) infographic, because you can't copy text from a graphic. Also, infographic "facts" tend to be unreliable, but this particular one is just trying to make an overall point, so go see it at SplatF. Link -via Boing Boing

Why can't you quote from a graphic that includes words and not just an image? Granted that you can not electronically copy and paste the text, but that doesn't prevent a person from quoting it by manual transcription.

"You do realize those 1000x9000 pixel images full of gradients and bad clip art are slowing down you site's load time, right?"

Wow, I somehow magically quoted the un-quotable and posted it.

When they first came out, infographic posts were interesting and neat. We posted quite a few ourselves, but as time went on, we started getting pitches and soon realized that the infographics were for SEO purposes.
