Are your contacts your favorite users? Do you miss photo from interesting users because they are not your contacts?

27 August 2006, by Mortimer

Well, you probably don’t have all your contacts for the quality of your photos.

But perhaps you love some user’s photos but have never thought of adding him as a contact, and hence you probably miss some photos that would be of interest to you.

This greasemonkey script helps you finding such users by displaying the list of all users from which you own favorites, ordered by the number of favorites you own.

Just go to your contact page and you’ll see a new section with the list of favorite users. You can either go to the user page or see the favorite you own by this user by clicking on the favorite count.

Make a Donation

No donation has been made for this project yet.

Donation don't have to be big to make a difference. I already received donations ranging from 0.50£ to 10£ and all of them made me happy. Think of it, if the thousand users of these tools made a small donation, it would not make a big difference to them, but it would to me.

You will probably enjoy using what you download from this website and if so, you can decide to make a donation. Making a donation is optional but will help to develop new tools and support the existing code.

All the software, scripts and other tools distributed on this web site are distributed under open source licenses and are available to download for free. Making the code free and available to all doesn't means it's of lower quality. The tools provided here are fully functional and their author invested some of his personal time to develop them and provide support to their users.

Think about it.

I just downloaded this script and look forward to using it.

I am now looking for a script that does just the opposite of this.

I want to be able to identify my most frequent visitors and those who have favorited my pictures the most.

Do you know of or could you write a script that does that?

Please and thank-you.

  Well, what you ask for would be quite difficult (in term of resources in particular).
  
  First of all, there is no way to know who is visiting your photos if they don’t leave a comment.
  
  Then, we could find who leaves the most comments/favs, but that would require going through all the photos in your stream, getting all the comments and all favers. This will do something like 2*N+N/500 requests to flickr servers (where N is your number of photos), plus some other request to get information about the users to display... = a lot

Something appears to have changed with this script. It’s only showing my most recent faves now. While it loads much, much faster [in my case, there are now only 360 people to display instead of 6,000], it is not nearly as interesting. Any reason for the change?

  You’re not the only one to report that. It must be something that changed on Flicrk API side, I’ll check that as soon as possible.
