"Interestingness"

A while ago Flickr added a whole new way to sort pictures. As well as being able to see which of my pictures are "most viewed" and "most commented on", I can see which ones Flickr considers "most interesting".

To work out "interestingness" Flickr uses an algorythm (which they keep fairly secret) that factors in lots of things, such as the number of time's it's viewed, who's viewing it, and how they came to view it.

I find it fascinating seeing what it decides are my most "interesting" pictures, and it seems to change every few days, and working out what made the picture stand out is sometimes a challenge.

At the moment this is my most interesting photo on Flickr:



A great picture of Sophie, showing off her pins and a makeover done by moi. It's only had about 900 views, but 5 people have marked it as a fave which Flickr seems to weight highly in it's algorythm.

Next up is a picture of Jessica...



One of the other things that I've read that Flickr factors in is pictures that get clicked on first when a viewer is presented with a set. I think the "ooh look... pinkness!" factor is responsible for putting this pic so high on my list. Plus the fact that she looks stunning in that outfit of course.

It's not until we get to my third most interesting that I turn up!



It's definitely not my fave. Kinda kinky, and I guess I get loads of people hitting it because of that. But not my best self-portrait, by far.

Way down at number 29 is my first non-tranny pic, which is a little disappointing. Would be nice for some of my my general pics to score a little higher.



And, actually that picture does have two trannies in it, and it's bloody Sophie and Jessica!
