Here's a site that will display public data about your flickr photo stream. Enter your user name and it will generate a summary that lists things like number of photos per day, all your tags, your groups etc. Just enter your (or anyone else's) username and see what comes up. The statistics aren't that useful to me, but there are a couple features I found interesting: first is the flickr score, which has absolutely no meaning outside of the site (mine's 1272 by the way), but now I'm wondering how I can increase it. Maybe it's the suppressed gamer inside.
The feature I found especially useful is the set of links to search engines where you can find out who is linking to your photos: blogs, websites etc. Nothing that a visit to Google or Technorati won't accomplish but it's nice to have it all there, automatically. I browsed around and found a few blogs, Yahoo! travel, and 43 Places, among others, that have used my pics. It's a good way to keep track of your photos, to make sure no one's using them in a way you don't want them to. Only catch is that it searches by user name, so if they don't provide an attribution the search engine won't find it, right? Or is there a way to do that?
