The law of accessibility on flickr

We can find chronological management of files and “Law of accessibility” behind the flickr, photo sharing system.

For example, when I upload new photos, they appear in the top-left of the page, where people view first and frequently (that is, V=1, x=t=0 -> A = 1 = maximum). Older photos are pushed down down down to the bottom of the page. This looks like I put indexcards I just write on card stand or box where I can see all time.

For classification, flicker basically doesn’t need classification. Just upload first, and sometime later, classify them for convenience. This makes us free from a load of classification at very first stage of photo sharing process.

# Did you notice that? I hadn’t notice at all!
