Flickr: Explore interesting photos from 7th January 2008
I was wondering why my Flickr photo of Katrina Romero (10th place in the recent board exam) with Dean Rosalie B. Faderon, Chancellor Sergio Cao and Vice Chancellor Lorna Paredes at the UPSLIS 2007 BFL Recognition Program last January 7, 2008 was getting too many views and comments. It now has 68 views, 7 comments and marked as a favorite by 3 people, a far cry from my regular Flickr photos which usually have 0 to 2 views, 0 to 2 comments and 0 to 1 marked as favorite. The most popular nunchaku, theater, yoyo, poi and weapons photos average 75 to 500 views, 2 to 4 comments and 0 to 1 marked as favorite photo. This was quite confusing for me.
The only other UPSLIS Flickr photo that has a lot of views (71 and counting) is the Lantern Parade photo with Mennie Viray in the middle. That I could explain since Von linked to it in the filipinolibrarian.blogspot.com post entitled "Deal or no Deal: the Librarian Edition". I was about to get mad thinking some wise-@$$ linked to my photo and was making fun of it (kawawa rin naman si Katrina, madadamay). I was thinking of deleting the comments or taking the photo down. But after some snooping for a couple of days, I came up with a hunch.
I found my way to big huge labs' Scout. It's a script to find out if one's "...digital photos are listed among the 500 photographs chosen each day for the Flickr Explore page". I used it and, true enough, I found out that Katrina's photo was #189. I really don't know if they use a script to choose photos randomly or if someone from Flickr scours uploaded photos, but I am at least thankful that it wasn't what I thought of at first. Thank God. (I don't know Katrina personally, by the way. I just take pictures. :D)

Our speaker will be Mr. Chito N. Angeles, Information Technology Officer of the University Library of UP Diliman and a Senior Lecturer at the School of Library and Information Studies.
This lecture is designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of metadata and its implications to their profession. The speaker will demonstrate how it can be applied to the library setting and provide examples for its effective implementation. Enclosed is the lecture rationale
