Been avid Flickr user since 2004, I just discovered that my few photos made into Flickr's Explore page. I like to call it interestingness.
Flickr gave us the definition of the interestingness:
There are lots of elements that make something 'interesting' (or not) on Flickr. Where the clickthroughs are coming from; who comments on it and when; who marks it as a favorite; its tags and many more things which are constantly changing. Interestingness changes over time, as more and more fantastic content and stories are added to Flickr.
As of March 11, 2009, out of 1,540 photos posted in my Flickr, I had nine explored pictures, six are currently in and three were dropped.
The tools can be found in Scout: Find your photographs in Flickr's Explore to take a quick look to find if your Flickr photos are explored'.
