Lots of "faves". 2. Lots of comments. 3. Lots of views. 4. Posting in groups with mandatory comments/faves gets you negative interestingness 5. For 1,2 and 3, you get a boost if there are many in a short timeframe ;-) There are probably others, but those seem to be it. We can test it if you post a good shot and you ask a couple of friends to comment on it and eventually fave it (preferablly all in the first day). That'll get you in the top500 for the day ;-) FlickR disclosed quite a bit about the algorithms…
