There's a great story floating around that somewhat humorously shows how small our world has become:

"It's an international mystery: How did a Missouri family's Christmas card photo end up in the Czech Republic, splashed across a huge storefront advertisement? Danielle Smith said Wednesday that the photo taken of her family last year got sent to family and friends, and was posted on her blog and a few social networking sites. The photo showed her and her husband Jeff holding their two young children."

Apparently, the Smiths pass for a happy Czech family, willing to spend their koruna on Budvar at the Grazie store in Prague. ;-)

The family's photographer, Gina Kelly, wants help in figuring out how her family photo traveled halfway around the world. A digital watermark embedded in the photo, then tracked would surely take some guesswork out of the equation. She admits this herself, saying next time she's considering "an electronic watermark."
