To each her own
One of the nice things about Flickr is that along with nice tools to organize photos, you can explore the collections of other people. You can even mark certain photos as favorites, and you automatically get a gallery of all your favorite photos, independent of who posted them.
Along with the ability to pick favorite pictures and leave comments, Flickr lets you see who has left comments on your own photos, or who has picked one of your pictures as a favorite. I noticed the other day that someone had "favorited" these three pictures from Steve's bachelor party weekend:
Now, these are all decent pictures, but I didn't recognize the person who picked them, and there are certainly better pictures from that weekend.
But of course, Flickr lets you look at other peoples' Favorites galleries... and once I looked at the favorite pictures of my mysterious Flickr user, it all became clear.
