Did Flickr change its view counting method after the recent UI change which shows photos in a never-ending scroll?
In the past, my typical daily view count circles around 3000 views per day, but as you can be seen in the screenshot here, it has gone up to the 5-digit range. So much so that in typical Flickr fashion they have probably locked my account two days before which moved view count to zero.
I know that they do inspect “suspicious activities” by temporarily locking accounts because every time my photos get used on prominent web sites, my view count will soar, and then immediately the next day I would see my view count drop to zero. But I am fairly certain that this is not such instance.
Also noted: normal new photo views typically circles around 50 at most daily but something posted yesterday now will circle in the 200+ values, leading me to suspect that something is going on — though exactly what is unclear.

This is a visualization of traffic sources over a one-month period for SML Pro Blog on Google Analytics, highlighting in particular performance on social networks from Twitter (red), Facebook (blue) and Friendfeed (teal), with Google (SEO) traffic added for comparison.
Important to note also is the network connectivity associated with those profiles:
SML Facebook: 630 friends.
SML Friendfeed: 279 subscriptions
SML Twitter: 767 followers
I think that FriendFeed is a clear winner here. It even outperforms Google.

SML Opinions:
Yahoo has had a good year. I reason that it largely has to do with the economy of China. Although in Google is the defacto search engine in the US, when you move around the world you will notice that different parts of the world’s primary search engine differs greatly.
For example, in Hong Kong, the number 1 search engine that people reference (just by casual conversation) is Yahoo. In the UK, it seems that people reference Bing often. This is unusual to me. But if you think deeply, Google has many properties which are blocked by China’s Great Firewall. Google could not survive in China so if China is slowly becoming the creditor of the world, then it would make sense for companies which are able to survive in China to do well.
One must also not forget Baidu. There are a ton of amazing content available in Chinese. Just because you cannot read it does not mean that data is not available. This is often the number 1 thing I noticed about technology companies based in the US—they ignore the audience in other parts of the world while trying to be a global products and services company. You can’t force your language and culture onto others. Learn from history regarding world peace and diplomacy. Then you will go far.
