The fun thing for me is that I scroll through images that are completely random and unrelated to me (only the bookmarkers in question know why they bookmarked it), and it’s great fun. You do bump into some really great pictures that I guess you’d normally not ever see, so I also use it as a jumping board to find out more about where the images I like came from, in te process discovering some really nice sites.

I also sometimes just enter random words in Flickr‘s search, just to see what pops up. 90% predictable results, but the extra 10% is quite surprising sometimes. Example: I typed “frustration”, and the first image returned is this:

Not what you’d expect…turns out Jason Theaker does some really excellent picture taking, well wordt browsing through. A real find. And on his profile I found a link to Panorama Paul‘s photostream, and thus another great set of phots.

I really advise you to try it sometimes, you end up in surprising places you’d normally never visit. Pretty cool.
