THat's a very interesting read Gary, thanks for posting the link.

"I had wondered just how it works and also why all of a sudden I've had so many snaps in "Explore", I think its now 15 within the last three months with the latest being two weeks ago"

Interesting read thanks.

So I need to tag my photos, photograph more birds (especially tits and boobys), post them to every group on Flickr (I notice a few here do that already) and ditch my Pentax camera and buy a Canon.

Alternatively I could just take better photos I guess.

Tits and Boobies always get the most likes...!

It's still a mystery to me. I've had 27 pictures on explore over the years yet I don't engage that often. Very rarely comment on others pictures.

I have of late been thinking of using it more, drop Instagram and just post on Flickr.

Do you guys still use Flickr regularly?

There's a thread called "My most viewed photo on Flickr" which has been going for over 6 years now and to which a number of us contribute almost daily.

Haven’t had a explored for a few years but last time I checked it was just under 300 , probably post in to many groups now and don’t give it the thought I used to do ..
