For instance, you can see a list of popular tags in Flickr here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/
The URL for the most recent photos in Flickr associated with a tag is as follows:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/{tag}/
For example:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/flower/
Instead of sorting photos by the date uploaded, you can sort them by descending ???interestingness???
(a quantitative measure calculated by Flickr of how ???interesting??? a photo is):
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/{tag}/interesting/
Finally, for some tags, Flickr identifies distinct clusters of photos, which you can access
here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/{tag}/clusters/
For example:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/flower/clusters/
You can display the popular tags used by a specific user here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/{user-id}/tags/
You can list all the user??™s tags here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/{user-id}/alltags/
You can show all photos with a given tag for a specific user here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/{user-id}/tags/{tag}/
