Flickr disables Pinterest pins on all copyrighted images (exclusive) | VentureBeat

My first Instagram Christmas | Rev Dan Catt's Blog
"The days before Christmas, friends were sharing photos of the build-up, putting up the tree, wrapping presents, sitting on trains getting to parents houses, cooking hams. To me there was a real sense of flow, connection, joining in of everyone’s experience, a bit like a pictorial version of twitter to some degree. Christmas morning was almost magical.
"The previous year on Flickr was almost as magical, once people had a chance to sort through the 100s of photos they’d taken with their dSLR, pick out the best ones, run them through lightroom and then get a chance to upload them. It was nice to look back on the Christmas mornings that people had, rather than having."

Boston’s photographic colors | Bostonography
"Here’s what we did: grabbed some 50,000 geotagged photos from Flickr, analyzed the pixel colors of each photo, then mapped a grid of the most frequent color hues." "Every dot on this map shows the most common hue of photos around that point." "A notable outcome (drawback, perhaps) is that dark and unsaturated brownish colors, very common in photographs, show up as orange on the map."

Geeking with Greg: Travel itineraries from Flickr photo trails
'The paper, "Automatic Construction of Travel Itineraries using Social Breadcrumbs" (PDF), cleverly uses the data often embedded in Flickr photos (e.g. timestamp, tags, sometimes GPS) to produce trails of where people have been in their travels. Then, they combine all those past trails to generate high quality itineraries for future tourists that tell them what to see, where to go, how long to expect to spend at each sight, and how long to allow for travel times between the sights.'

"There is also the question of when and why a tag evolves in to being a first class data type and whether that’s actually reflected in how people use tags. Dates are one example, and geotags another. Each are uniquely indexed in the Flickr database and, still, people continue to add both as tags on their photos. The short answer, of course, is that it’s usually just easier to type 2008 or 2009 than to try and remember a specialized syntax for doing searches."

Flickr API security weakness | Yes/No/Cancel
Martin Kleppmann on what, to me, smells more like a theoretical than a practical weakness in the Flickr API. There's at least one mistake - if an app is authenticated, it doesn't need to be approved again - and more generally, even if you do have an app's key and secret, you can still only get the level of auth the app originally asked for. The fixes all seems horribly overcomplex (for example, my EXIF machine tagger has just four users, total, because keys/secrets are such a barrier to entry). Anyway, can't say I'm that worried personally.
