Not sure if it's her surname or ability to make up and respond to words (damn i like wordsmiths), or just that I totally agree with her : Hope Yahoo dont let her fix MyYahoo and bring it to Australia. From the BuzzMachine : "Caterina talks about a new metric Flickr uses: interestingness, which tries to capture how much people have seen, tagged, linked to something. And she says you can pivot that around a person or a social group: What interests them? Add that to the metrics we as an unmedium need to capture and deliver: Where’s the good stuff? That’s where we want to be (and advertisers, too)." And then this bit at end of Jarvis RT blog : "Esther asks about time and the decay of popularity. Josh says that Delicious cares about the vector: It’s not interesting that 10,000 people tagged “google” but this tag is hot now; Catarina says the same for the hot tags on Flickr. She says Yahoo research labs will have something on this later."
