So boing boing have a piece about Flickr trying to patent interestingness.
Hmm well that is interestingness in itself because I have been noticing the number of photosharing sites that are around and that are copying bits of Flickr (as well as having some new ideas). It is obviously getting to Flickr.
Also it seems, that Boing Boing, according to their report don’t thing that interestingness is very original.
however there are many debates on Flickr by members about how on earth the algorithm works and it clearly is something that matters to people.
So I reckon it is worth cash.
And funnily enough THIS one crept into explore the other day:
And the very cool thing is that I did not see anyone take this at the same time
