Flickr analysis tool released

by on July 14, 2006

Someone asked me why they should care about blogs or podcasts.

My answer: because they teach me things.

For instance, Thomas Hawk, who is a great photographer, tells me to check out Flickr Inspector. Now, Flickr is a photo sharing service. And Thomas is an expert on photo sharing services (he even works for a competitor of Flickr).

So, if he tells me something is cool in the photosharing space, I’ll believe him.

That’s why I love this media. It lets me find people who are passionate and authoritative about something and they teach me stuff.

Thanks, Thomas, nice tool!

  • Hmm, it looks quite neat and displays things nicely, but you get all that data within Flickr anyway.
  • The tool seems to use some interesting math... from my stream:

    · biggest set: Vacations (12 photos)
    · smallest set: Wandering Vancouver (7 photos)
    · each set contains about 16 photos
  • :-)

    i fixed the bug Aaron B. Hockley mentioned.
  • Excellent. Gotta love the blogosphere's responsiveness!
  • It does all kinds of interesting analysis. Tells you how many photos on average you post per day. Computes an internal flickrinspector "score" based on variables. Shows you where you stuff is blogged. Shows you your fav'd to photo ratio and lots of other cool stat stuff. I kind of see it as a sort of Google Analytics for Flickr. Netomer did some nice work here and thanks for blogging it Robert.
