The World's Best Photos of gwennie2006 and DistortFunction and Tutorial. Flickr Hive Mind Search

30 March - fixed a bug that chose weird dates for explore when people used the fivprime.org/hivemind/explore link.
27 March - this morning I attempted to fix some obscure problems when searching multiple tags (space or comma delimited, even quoted strings are supposed to work). Most issues seem to be fixed, but there are still problems that may actually be due to bugs in the Flickr API itself.
25 March - I am making some major design modifications to the flickr hive mind code. Nothing is supposed to be different. Let me know of any problems!
20 March - The problem identified today (see below) with Banished (opt-out) users has been corrected. No user that has opted out should be seeing any of their photos on Flickr Hive Mind. It's highly likely that some major changes to the code base last weekend resulted in the problem.
20 March - One Flickr member has informed me today that the Banish option is not hiding their photos. I made major changes in Flickr Hive Mind to increase scalability last weekend. I may have introduced a bug. I'll be working to confirm the problem and fix it with great haste!
28 February - If you are logged in you now get new buttons that offer to show you public vs private views of your photosteam - this seems to work but is not well integrated with the rest of the buttons/form options right now. I'll try to fix that soon.
28 February - New tool is available! Flickr Black Magic
3 February - Hey! I noticed some enterprising individual was trying searches like : http://fiveprime.org/hivemind/Date/2009-01-05 to see if it brought up Explore for that date. I've added it, it works now.
1 February - Set queries are available from the URL interface - try: http://fiveprime.org/hivemind/Sets/your_set_number See the example below in the "Examples" section
26 January - Group queries should now be sortable, I discovered you can use the full photo search API (same as Tag, Text searches). Also, thumbnails should be centered more nicely now.
23 January - I hope the new Lightroom-inspired color scheme is appealing to you.
21 January - I've tried to block polyvore tools on the site, and have increased pixel size back - let me know of new polyvore activites - Nathan
Flickr users can follow the "Log In" links - once you have logged in you can view larger thumbnails. Remember: as a flickr user you are bound by Flickr's guidelines for picture use and the licenses of each author!
10 January: thumbnail sizes have been reduced to 100 pixels max (from 250) at least until the polyvore.com issue is resolved. This change may need to be permanent to prevent abuse. My apologies to those with older eyes (like me). My apologies to those whose photos have been taken from Flickr via the HiveMind search engine (which stores no photos) and placed on Polyvore. I've contacted polyvore.com to try and stop this practice from happening from Flickr Hive Mind. Grrr. -Nathan
