I just posted a picture of a black hole on Flickr to see how they would rate its degree of "interestingness." I mean, it's a black hole, for crying out loud! As soon as I posted it, Flickr's algorithm decided that it was my 124th most interesting photo. This makes a picture of a black hole more interesting than 9 of my other pictures. Okay, I admit that most of the others are not very interesting, as they were taken for a reunion of sorts and they are just typical snapshots of the event, but a black hole...
The black hole to nowhere is more interesting than the road to nowhere.

How does Flickr decide what it "interesting?"
Where did they come up with an interesting word like "interestingness?"
You gotta love Flickr, though. It's run by real people, it seems.
