One reason I love flickr stats
Dec. 4th, 2009 02:58 pmThis is one of my most consistently popular photos. It never gets a TON of hits, but it will consistently show up in my flickr sidebar as a recently-viewed photo. Then I click through and see that someone has found it through yahoo/google image search, looking for something like "white spot in eye" or "spot in sclera" or "iris freckle"; sometimes that person will then click around to see OTHER shots of this (benign) white spot in Natalie's eye.
I like to think that these people are in more or less the position I was in when she was born -- namely, "oh crap, what is that, oh crap" -- but that now they can find healthy photos of a healthy girl with a spot in her eye and be reassured. And I would *never* notice that without flickr's extremely accessible stats functions.
