The geniuses at FlickrLabs have been hard at work on many secret features which will be finding their way into version 1.0. One of the ones I’m most excited about it is the automated discovery of interesting images based on heavy duty analysis of user behaviour around the photos.

Of course, there were a lot more great images that I had seen before – this sample is skewed by my personal browsing history. But, just like the revelation of related tags, it’s fascinating to see the wisdom of crowds at work.
