This Crazy Web
Searching the web for the craziest content - so you don’t have to!
That's right.
Two days ago I wrote about the funny Flickr/Google anomaly that taught the world about the art of upskirting. That fun little link has mysteriously vanished because I ruin everything.
So, as a way to make amends, I offer up another "interesting" Flickr feature.
The rainbow vomiting, Flickr explore panda.
My explanation will be brief and incomplete - Flickr users may recognize the Explore feature as a regular old menu item. As the "Explore" page says "Flickr labs have been hard at work creating a way to show you some of the most awesome content on Flickr."
Thus began the quest of a million attention whores to get their awesome photos features on Explore for a day. They schemed, plotted, banded together and collectively whined when their attempts came up fruitless.
From this cacophony of narcissistic whining sprung the Secrets of Explore Flickr group to debunk the myths with wisdom such as "No matter how artificially "interesting" you try to make your photos (Explore photos are selected via Flickr's "Interestingness Algorithm", affectionately known as the "Magic Donkey"), Explore is still only 500+ images each day. And each day on Flickr, there are more than five thousand photos uploaded each minute. That's each minute."
The panda art became their masthead and in no time Flickr picked it up and integrated it into a secret little "special" explore page.
