Flickr Groups
Flickr has the real stick up their ass when it comes to "sexy" pictures. It seems like its ok for the picture itself to be sexy, but if you add any keywords that would indicate that its a sexy picture, or if you add it to any so called "sexy" Flickr groups, then they consider the picture itself less interesting.
For those of you that don't know, Flickr has a top secret formula that they use to determine what they call the Interestingness of a picture. They use it to decide what the Best 500 pictures of the day are. It can also be used on an individual user basis to see which of your pictures are more intersting than the others.
I have a photoset on my Flickr that is automatically refreshed once a day and it shows my Top 100 pictures in my photostream. I try to be very careful what I tag in my pictures and which groups I add them too because I kinda like when a picture of mine is deemed Interesting. So before I join any groups, I make sure that it doesn't have any questionable pictures in it that would give MY picture a negative mark.
So today I joined a group called Glamour Photography that I thought was ok and I wanted other people to see my work and perhaps give feedback. I added the picture you see here and it IMMEDIATELY dropped from #17 on my Interesting pics to #73. Whoa! I guess Glamour is now a dirty word.
Live and learn.
