Interestingness Timeline

Provides a time line of the most interesting pictures of the referenced user or group based on Flickr's internal Interestingness rating. If called from a Flickr photo page, it will attempt to determine the calling user.

Insert this code on any photo page, (e.g. in a comment), to link directly to the application. No Customization Required.

The thumbnails will direct you to the referenced picture.

No authentication required.

Compatible with Skyfire.

[Update: now handles groups as well as users.]
[Update: now iPhone/iPad compatible]

You can link to it from any photo page. It will detect where you came from and show the information for that user. Just add this code to your picture description, or insert into any picture/group comment. It will only work from a photo or group page. It won't work from a profile page.

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

the graph lines never quite finished loading for me. using:

clickykbd: Thanks for the update. The current version has most of the graph lines disabled since I had feedback that they were intrusive. Perhaps I'll have to make a toggle for them.

zJMac says:

istvan_szucs: I tried your photostream URL, and it worked, as did your NSID: 40822852@N07. I have not yet included the ability to use a specific username. I guess it is time to do so....

Thanks for your feedback.

[Update: Usernames can now be used]

-Jérôme-: I'm trying to solve this issue. There are solutions that work for specific browsers, but I'd rather have a clean cross-browser solution.

This can be even more useful than fd's DNA. Or at least cooler to see.

It won't work from a profile page, but I could add that if there is some interest in that functionality.

ALX COGHE PHOTOGRAPHER: What browser are you using? Are you using any blocking extensions? What do you see when you go to the site? Does it load at all? Is there an error message? Please take a screen shot and post.

Thanks

Remek T says:

great application! I really appreciate your effort creating it.

i understand it displays interestingness of the 20 most interesting pictures. is there a way of adjusting this behavior? e.g. take only user images with some specific tag, from a specific set, or most recent 20?

zJMac says:

Remek T: Glad you liked it. I hadn't considered extending it. I could add tag search to the tool. It sounds like a good idea.
