Yahoo! Search blog: Interestingness and Clustering:
"Over on the FlickrBlog, I just posted about some cool new features which help you surf through the giant waves of photos that are getting uploaded to Flickr: 'interestingness', a way of discovering what Flickr users are paying attention to -- and therefore, because our users have such good taste, what's good :) -- and 'clustering' a way of delving deeper into tags you're interested in. It's easier to show than to tell, so here are some examples: love, terror, nose, bush, cameraphone.
Both interestingness and clustering rely a lot on what people are doing, whether it's with the photos they like, or the tags they are using. You can think about it as people-powered searching. Check it out on Flickr's new explore page (or read more on the Flickr blog).
