Our Privacy Policy has been updated. Follow flickrhivemind Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind. If you log into Flickr you will see your private photos and larger thumbnails. Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography.
Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr , none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos as well as their copyright and license details within Flickr. Because some other search engines Google, etc. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can a make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings , this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them.
This is necessary to make sure you are the user in question, and also because people use such crazy characters in their Flickr user names. You can revoke access when finished. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind Flickr Hive Mind can also be an effective tool to identify photography with licenses that allow non-commercial and sometimes commercial use.
Inspired by and thanks to Flickr Leech. Dedicated to Anna and her Flickritis. Many thanks to Lokesh Dhakar for his lightbox2 image viewer.
