    "Kim Kardashian favoured this"....etc

    I note from my flickr site that various people state that they "favour" a picture of mine i.e" Kim Kardashian" ()favoured this, Joe bloggs favoured this etc. Does this mean anything and why would some one state this? Is this a way of tagging a picture? If so what for?

    Thanks for enlightening me!

      It's just a way to show people like your photo ,possibly ones that are to lazy or busy to actually comment .if you get enough likes within a certain time period and it falls within a secret Flickr algorithm then your photo gets elevated to "explored" which is reserved for the 500 most popular photos worldwide that day

        Thanks Brian and Jeff. Actually the people who "favour" my pictures are photographers who have got some stunning pics themselves on flickr. I have looked at their pictures too.

          Then that is a genuine accolade in itself.

              I have noticed over the last month that some of those favouring my pics on Flickr are either dating sites or porn sites.
              It is so very sad that this element is creeping into Flickr more and more.

                haven't seen any such activity on my Flickr site yet but by god my Wordpress blog used to be plagued by spammers galore before they introduced a blocker .

                  Thanks Treff and Gordon for passing by. If you click on this picture, it will take you to my restricted flickr site and you can see that those who favoured my pics are really good photographers themselves like for example Mukesh Patel. I will certainly NOT tolerate any porn or dating sites to get involved with my photos.
