Flickr has a clear objective of making the process of sharing photos easier and faster, but my favorite components are the curated photosets pulled from various users. Maybe Flickr pulls photos at random from the multitudes that are posted every day, but the “Interesting Photos from the Last 7 Days” provides an interesting glance at the world in one click. If you’re not happy with the results, you can reload for another “interesting” set.
Seriously now, where else can you find Star Wars Thriller next to a historic photo of a community hardware store and the Bean…or, I’m sorry–Cloud Gate?
