Flickr Oddness

[rhythmaning]

I use flickr a lot. You may have noticed.

On Saturday, I posted a scan of an article from the Scotsman to flickr - it was about the elections, and I had written an LJ post about it, but wanted to show people the source.

Originally I had made it a private picture on flickr, because I don't like putting copyright material there. But in case someone else wanted to use it - matgb had linked to my post - it opened the flickr photo up.

And someone has made it a favourite.

I just think this is weird. Out of all my photos on flickr, someone has made an article from the Scotsman a favourite? Jeez...

Maybe favourite = bookmark so I can find it again?

I am sure you're right. But it just seemed odd to me.

Pretty much; IE calls bookmarks favourites, which was another reason I hated it, YouTube and Flickr do the same. LJ at least calls them memories, which makes sense.

It wasn't me! :-D

No, I know! It was someone I had never come across before. I can't help but think that somehow he just stumbled across it on flickr, and liked it so much much it became a favourite...
