You can find other handwritten Blatherings entries here.

To those on Flickr: one of older my cottage photos recently was viewed a ton of times, with 30 people adding it to their "Favorites" list. I posted a question asking how they found my photo and got the following reply: "I think I saw it in the Most Interesting page if that is what it is called.
and it was well picked for it too.:)"

Is anyone familiar with this page? Thanks in advance for any help.

Update:
Thanks to Martin GK, who posted in Blatherchat shortly after I posted the above: "Flickr and 'most interesting' - its a sum based on the the number of time the photo has been viewed, but giving more points for the number of people that call it a favourite or have commented on it. Don't know what the exact ratio is - you can see your own 'most interesting' photos on a link from your own photo page, so you should be able to work out the formula to some degree from that (comments rank higher than favourites, I can tell you from mine). www.flickr.com/explore/ has several 'most interesting' options - in particular, they do a 'most interesting in the last 24 hours' and a'"most interesting a year ago' - which this might have hit? They explain interestingness at www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/. "
