Flickr enables web users to search and browse through public
collections of billions of digital photos (www.flickr.com/explore).

FIGURE 13.2
Chapter13
The Flickr Explore page includes search over geo-tagged images and a
tag cloud for browsing photos based on their tags (www.flickr.com/explore).

The Flickr photostream shows photos that the user has recently posted.
On the right are sets of photos, sorted by recency.

FIGURE 13.5

Top figure shows multiple sets of photos in Flickr. The middle figure shows
individual images in the “2007 MSR Latin American Faculty Summit” set.
The bottom image illustrates collections containing several sets.

FIGURE 13.6
Chapter13
Flickr image containing seven tags and an extensive description. Nine
people liked the photo and called it “Favorite.” The image was included in
one gallery and received one comment.

FIGURE 13.7

The user’s Flickr profile page shows the number of contacts (146) and
group memberships (6).

Networks arising from users’ participation and content contributions on
Flickr. (a) Adding contacts. (b) Authoring and tagging photos. (c) Adding
comments to photos. (d) Joining a group.

related with the “barcelona” tag, downloading a sample Flickr picture for each
tag.

user “marc_smith,” along with information about each user and the respective
profile photo.

(contacts and comments). The Relationship column indicates the type of
relationship between each pair of users.

Raw NodeXL visualization of the Flickr related tags network for the
“vegas” tag, which is shown selected selected in the center of the
graph.

FIGURE 13.17
Chapter13
Filtered NodeXL Flickr tag cloud network. Shows edges with weight
> 1 and vertices with degree < 45. Vertex size is proportional to
degree and color is proportional to betweenness centrality (min:
gray; max: orange).

FIGURE 13.18

Filtered NodeXL Flickr tag photo network. Shows edges with the
weight 1 and vertices with the degree 45. Vertex size is
proportional to degree and color is proportional to betweenness
centrality (min: gray; max: orange).

representing a different context for “mouse.”

NodeXL network of Flickr users who comment on Marc_Smith’s
photos (network depth 1.5; edge weight >= 4).

FIGURE 13.25
Chapter13
NodeXL scatter graph of total Flickr comments to self (X axis)
versus other users (Y axis), in a log-log scale. Vertex size is
mapped to the total number of photos in the user’s Flickr
photostream, and color is mapped to the total number of comments
posted by the user.

FIGURE 13.26
Chapter13
Three examples of self-comments where the user adds context to
the photo (top), responds to other users comments (middle), and
thanks other users (bottom).
