Flickr is my online photo repository. I've been a member for more than a half decade and thusly have been around long enough to have garnered quite a vast number of photo statistics. The site keeps track of views and generates enough numbers to impress even sports fans who follow baseball.
For example, I always know my photo count. Incidently, as I've not yet uploaded to my Daily Picture Parade I have 7,098 there. Also, as of the moment of writing this sentence, these photos have been viewed 92,228 times. Flickr collects the number of comments and favorites as well. They show running graphs of some of these statistics. The site even keeps a record of the hidden data written by a digital camera at the time of the shot.
One of the more unique rankings is their use of interestingness. I don't know what algorithm produces this ranking as it is much more than simply views. Anyway, I thought I'd post a photo that ranked high under this category. This photo is the ranked as number two.
Trincomalee Kovil, Sri Lanka 06/07
September 2004 - This group of photos were taken on a day 'outing' in Trincomalee. We had a tuk tuk come to the room and first went to famous Hot Water Wells (where each had a different temperature). Then we went to a a cliff side and famous Hindu Temple.
