flickr's clustering and interestingness
Forenoon Filings likes to think f itself as quite a big Flickr fan, so it is welcome to see that although it still in beta stages, extra improvments ahve not yet stopped.
As noted before, the sheer wealth and number different photos has grown to such a degree that it can be quite working where to begin looking.
The Interestingness should go some way in assisting - as this selects phots based on number and rapidity of comments, number of people who have set them as favourite and other parameters to ensure that firing up the start page will give you a very broad subject range of the best that Flickr can currently offer.
In a bid to help the organisiation and cataloguing of photos the new clustering technology will help in splitting down rather vague of generic tag subjects into sub-groups. An example of this can be seen in how it treats the urban tag.
