Flickr Analytics

Update: Because of newly discovered US Patent Filing of the Interestingness algorithm, attention has been shifted towards the analysis of this algorithm.

Objective

  • Analyze the Flickr Interestingness algorithm.

Methodology

  • Tagging and grouping top 20 images from the Popular-Views, Popular-Favorites and Popular-Comments pages on Flickr.
  • Compare results with images from the various sets via AND / OR operators.

Preliminary Analysis

Top Views = What drives users to click

Can not fetch photoset data - photoset might not exist or not be public (or other problem).

Related tags:

Top Favorites = What drives users to buy

Can not fetch photoset data - photoset might not exist or not be public (or other problem).

Top Comments = What drives users to blog

Top Interesting = Winning formula for market success

All three galleries combined give you the winning ingredients for market success for any advertising campaigns. These sets, as such, double-duty as quick-visual reference for your next photoshoot.

If analyzing my own photographs give me this conclusion, I can only imagine the entire collection of images hosted on Flickr can provide.

I hypothesize that Yahoo is using these data to train an AI (artifical intelligence) algorithm to detect images. And if they aren't, I think that they should. Google literally dominates the text-ad market by indexing every single bit of text available to them, it would be smart for Yahoo to pick a different market segment and become the expert in it.
