For Nikon it’s D80, followed by the D40, then D90, then D300, and then D60.

Ten things you can do to improve interestingness and increase chances of getting into Explore


Image by kevindooley
I know that some of you are going to yell that Flickr "interestingness" and Explore are silly things to worry about, and that’s fine… But for those attracted in how it works, let me run down a quick top 10 list. (Yes, this pic made Explore)

Caring about getting into Explore per se is silly, because Explore has a huge unsystematic component to it. Though, Explore is vital because it is the only "signal" we easily have about how "fascinating" the photo is. Flickr doesn’t give us the actual interestingness digit so Explore is a excellent way to know it must be pretty high.

Why does interestingness matter? If you get more pleased the more people that see and appreciate your work, then you care about interestingness. Beyond your contact network, the vast majority of Flickr views come from search engines. Flickr has a zillion photos, so if you’re photo isn’t Flickr-fascinating, people will never see it come up in the search engines.

Ten things to do to improve Flickr Interestingness:

1. Take excellent photos.

2. Have a excellent network of contacts who will view and comment and fave.

3. Post to at least one group, but don’t post to more than five for the first few days. During the first week, posting to lots of groups hurts; after the first week, it helps.

4. In first week, don’t post to more than a few award groups.

5. Have notes.

6. Have map and camera data. If you block camera data, or use film and don’t add the camera meta data, you’ll be penalized, A LOT. There’s thousands of film people or people who don’t want to give up their "secret settings" who can’t figure out why they can’t get into Explore… This is it!

7. Have a title and tags and text that people will search for, as that drives search engine traffic.

8. Don’t upload too much per day. Possibly 3 max? If you upload more than 3 per day it not only hurts interestingness, but it taxes your contact network. It also means any given photo is de facto seen by less people, since most contacts only look at last 1-4 photos.

9. Be active. If you give significantly less than you get, it terms of views, comments, and faves, all of your photos will be penalized significantly.

10. Challenge yourself. There’s a lot of competition when it comes to grabbing people’s limited attention. Take fascinating photos!

To answer Steve-H’s question about why if you get into Explore do you not get in their more highly ranked?

I am in same boat. Had one reach #9 that is now permanent at #26. Some of it is unsystematic. The difference in interestingness between #1 and #500 is like 99.99999 to 99.99998. If you are the lucky one to get in the top (e.g.) 50, then you get a lot of additional views and it becomes self-fulfilling (esp. if women are in pic).

Some of it may be network related. I don’t know if they sample inner people, or people who are boundary spanners, but that would make a difference too. I do notice that everything else can be essentially equal between two photos and they differ in interestingness because different people commented and faved.

It also depends on the interestingness and timing of surrounding pics. If you have a strong network like ours your pics tend to get the same views, comments, faves, roughly. This is excellent for getting in but not getting into the top. I reckon a pic at the top of Explore tends to have much much much better stats than other pics by that artist around the same time. So in the example below, Joe would get one pic high into Explore, whereas Sally would get two into Explore but not as high:

Joe: pic 1–8 views, 3 comments, 2 faves; pic 2–100 views, 21 comments, 28 faves
Sally: pic 1–85 views, 24 comments, 18 faves; pic 2–100 views, 21 comments, 28 faves

Bring up to date 1.29.09… I may be incorrect about the groups, at some level. Above I conjecture that posting to too many groups may be harmful, and I do believe that is still right. Though part of the negative effect on Interestingness that one gets from posting to many groups is that it decreases the ratio of comments to views, and faves to views, which in turn decrease Interestingness.

I have also learned a possible cumulative limit to how many pics one can have in Explore at one time. Most of the time, I have about 5 or 10 pics in Explore (versus the hundreds that were in it at some time but aren’t at that moment). Recently some of my grown-up pics have been getting in and staying in, or mostly staying in, the top 50 or 100. (This is mostly due to Yahoo! by my photos for news tales, blogs, etc.) As this has happened, my daily likelihood of getting into Explore has decreased, even though my other "stats" are the same. It may be that 20 or 25 serves as a matter-of-fact limit.

… Bring up to date 11.18.10…
Regarding the point above about Explore, I now have about 50 in Explore at one time and don’t seem to be getting many more in, so that may be a saturation point, but who knows… Since I last updated, the Interestingness algorithm has altered. I talk about it here:

Olympus, Nikon, Kodak, Samsung, and Sony

I’m looking to buy a camera for my son’s birthday and the price and mega pixels between them all seem to be the same

Is a 7.0 MP a BIG step down from a 8.0 MP camera?

Answer by TheCat
I would pick Nikon and Sony. There is not much difference between 7 & 8 megapixels cameras.

Answer by Lateralus
Nikon is more expensive, and then I would go with the Sony second. The 7.0 is less vital than the 8.0 but not a huge step depends how many photos he takes.

(A cannon digital camera is excellent with photoshop and for taking photos I have one and it’s awesome. )

Answer by dropkick
Unless it’s an SLR camera ($ 500 and up, lenses separate) anything over 4 mp is just hype. Under normal situation most pictures taken will be at about 3 mp (normal setting).

Over all the others I’d go with a Canon.
I would go with an Olympus Stylus if I was worried about getting wet.
After that I’d go with a Nikon.
I would skip the other brands.

Answer by penguinlove04
1. Nikon (Has been around for a long time.)
2. Sony
3. Kodak (I often recommend this brand, simple to use.)
4. Olympus
5. Samsung (Terrible experience will a film one being ago, I won’t buy another unless it is a Pentax dSLR rebrand.)

You most liable won’t be able to tell the difference between a 7 and a 8 MP. I an barely tell the difference between my 6 and 10 MP. Anything above 3 or 4 MP is excellent enough.
