  1. Big Huge Labs Victoria, Alex, and Liz

  2. FAQ Q.What is Interestingness? A.Interestingness is what Flickr calls the criteria used for selecting which photos are shown in Explore. All photos are given an Interestingness "score" that can also be used to sort any image search on Flickr. The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore. Interestingness rankings are calculated automatically by a secret computer algorithm

  3. Q.What is Explore? A. Explore is a Flickr feature with the intent of showing you "some of the most awesome photos on Flickr." Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness (see below for more about that).

  4. Q.What is Scout? A.Scout is a third-party application that uses the Flickr API to retrieve the daily Explore data. It then uses that data to show any user all of his photos that are currently featured somewhere in Explore. Scout is not affiliated with Flickr. I am not a Flickr employee.

  5. Q.How does Scout work? A.Scout updates its database incrementally throughout the day. Scout loads whole days at a time (all 500 photos) back to August 2004 until the entire database is refreshed. And then it starts over. In essence, it takes a snapshot of each day in Explore.

  6. User Comments • “We received the two pictures you did for us today. They are fantastic. We are very pleased! Thank you very much!” – Ernest • “ I received the shipment and am totally satisfied.
