Those three categories (views, favorites, and comments) are simple statistical counts.
Flickr also has a category called "interestingness" and I have no idea how they calculate it. According to flickr's own blog, "interestingness is a ranking algorithm based on user behavior around the photos taking into account some obvious things like how many users add the photo to their favorites and some subtle things like the relationship between the person who uploaded the photo and the people who are commenting (plus a whole bunch of secret sauce)."
Go figure!
Anyway, as of today, here are my most popular photos on flickr.
Interestingness
Why this photo is considered to be most interesting stumps me! I admit it is a good photo and I look OK in it, but there are other photos that are just as good, if not better in my humble opinion.
Views and Favorites
This photo is ranked as having the most views (7288) and as being named a "favorite" by other people (27). It is not a very good photo. My eyes are half-closed and I am not looking at the camera, but show a little leg and I guess that does the trick. By the way, my second most popular photo in these two categories is also a leggy shot: me posing in my Playboy bunny Halloween costume.
Comments
This photo has received the most comments (12) and it is one of my favorite photos, so there will be no arguments from me!
Hard to say... As for me,I think it could be, in part, cause you look, in two of the photos, like a regular girl. You present so well. Looking like a woman, and knowing it's a guy, that has an alure.
ReplyDeleteAs for the leggy picture - well! Your long legs tell it all. They look great... as also in the playboy bunny outfit.
When I look at t-girl photos, I am struck by, and look for, these qualities.
Good points, Debbie!
