Flickr Stats

I’ve just been adding a couple of photos to my flickr account and having a browse through my account settings. I’d not noticed it before, but flickr now offer viewing stats for your photos and I can now see stats such as these: 15% of my viewers have come direct from google, 8% from this blog and 32% from within flickr itself. My most popular photo is the one of my google memory card that I blogged about last December.

You have to activate the stats and allegedly come back the following day to see them, though mine were available within 15 minutes.

I actually use flickr more than most other social networking sites because it find it useful. I’ve accounts at stumbleupon, linkedin and facebook but I hardly use them currently. I’ll endeavour to make an effort with these at some point, especially the applications and groups stuff within facebook (as recommended by, amongst others, Lee McCoy) but I just can’t be bothered with all that virtual bomb throwing, poking, wall writing palaver.
