Bogley Flickr Group = Feeds Image Bar

[accadacca]

Bogley Peeps,

IntredpidXJ had the idea a while back to create a bogley flickr group that would feed our image bar. Well, he got it setup on flickr and I got it plugged into our image bar. It is ready to roll!

• All you have to do is sign-up for a free flickr account or use your existing account
• Join the Bogley Flickr Group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/bogley
• Post your photos to the group and add a "bogley" tag to your photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/bogley

Your photos will reside on your personal flickr page and will also be included in the bogley flickr group, which now feeds our image bar. This gives you full control of your photos, is much easier to assign credit and lets users know where each photo came from. This announcement has been posted in the BigShots section for 3 days, which gave our BigShots a chance to sign-up and post thier photos first. There are already 170 awesome pix in there! Bring on more of your epic pix!

*How do I become a Bogley BigShot? http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthre...hots-Info-Here

Everyone please give a BIG thanks to IntrepidXJ for bring this great idea, seeing it through and being the admin of the group.

does this mean pics from the old photo stream are gone now?

[accadacca]

Nope, they are still here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bogley/sets/

[trackrunner]

hmm haven't seen any old photos show up in the photo stream since the change

Right. Only photos posted to the Bogley Flickr Group will appear in the bar: http://www.flickr.com/groups/bogley

Seems like it's still sucking at shuffling them up. Are they still going by interesting-ness (hence why Bill is totally dominating)?

This is a factor as well. It was sorting much better the other day. We need more members in the pool or a limit on the number of photos per user. Or perhaps both... My vote is to keep them outdoor related as well. Thoughts?

[ibenick]

I agree. Outdoors stuff only. Not so sure about limits... It's just weird how it's like the same 15-20 pictures that seem to be popping up. Or is that just how it seems to me?

[accadacca]

Yeah I think its a combination of "interestingness" and volume, but primarily the former.

A few articles about "interestingness" to geek out over:

also ... love the star wars

[Sombeech]

I dunno, maybe it's working just fine? Stefan caught these two shots just 4 minutes apart, I'm not seeing any of the same photo.

[ibenick]

Oh well, maybe it's just me. I'm seeing a lot of the same handful of photos. Maybe more than 20 but certainly not total randomization.. Here's what I see after 8 refreshes:

I cant help it.

[ibenick]

Weird... now it seems to have rotated to a different subsection of the group and I'm winning. I'm happy with it now.

[accadacca]

I cant help it.

You suck! Wait...your dominating interestingness!

[Sombeech]

very interesting

There have been 60+ new photos uploaded since this morning and now the algorithm is delivering different photos.

There has never been this much attention given to the image bar...its a cluster*u%k.
