Random...

@Scrivna

Ross can we have a random buttom... I mean it would take you on a trip... ANY user, ANY date, ANY gallery...

I know that is why you thought of New faces... but on a night like tonight when I am bored and just want to see random photos I would like a button.

I have mocked up a text for the graphic below...


View A Random Photo


Thoughts?

@icywarm WOOT WOOT YES!! I would love this!
March 30th, 2011
That'd be pretty awesome.
March 30th, 2011
I LOVE IT.
March 30th, 2011
That would be fun!

I like it, but here's how I'd modify your Idea.
I'd like it to show a page of 15 or so random small images (like the new faces page) so you can view more photos faster, and click on the ones you'd like to see bigger.

I'd also like the option to limit the search to people who have logged in in the last 7 days. This way if you're using it to look for new contacts, you can eliminate all the people who have finished or given up and no longer visit the site.

Great idea...along the lines of the flashback option only way better. I agree with the 7 day limit. I am sure there are lots of users on here with great photos in their albums but they finished/quit/lost interest in their project a year or two or three ago. While it would be nice to see their pictures it seems to me that it would be more fun to see current users and their pictures.

This is a great idea! And the 7 days idea is good too!

"Browse Latest" does it for me: 28 images, entirely unpredictable and guaranteed to be still active, not given up or run out of ideas. Then click again a minute later for an even more up-to-date selection. What could be more random or inspirational than that?

Great Idea!!

@wordpixman I agree, a bit. I still think one random photo sounds better. Besides, you wouldn't have to wait to refresh more images. There would always be a new random one. Fussy bunch of 365ers, give em' an inch and they want a mile. ;)

There's still my old Undiscovered Gems thing floating around if you're bored too
March 30th, 2011
Love the idea!!!!!
March 30th, 2011
@eyebrows thats brilliant!!!!!
March 30th, 2011
That would be such a great feature of the site :D
March 30th, 2011
@eyebrows - ah, never cease to amaze. Very cool.
March 30th, 2011
That would be great!

@icywarm cool idea :-)

But im sure its heaps cool, if only i could see :-P
March 30th, 2011
LOVE this idea!!
it would feature lots of the 'little people' who don't get attention, except on the 'latest' page.
March 30th, 2011
Awesome idea!
March 30th, 2011
Great idea!!
March 30th, 2011
brilliant!

@eyebrows That's a gem, thanks for sharing with us. Perhaps a link to that on the right column?
March 30th, 2011
@icywarm I would love that! Just like discovering new people by this way!
March 30th, 2011
@eyebrows what is that drawing from? I actually think that is exactly what I wanted...
March 30th, 2011
@icywarm there's a "how does it work?" link on there somewhere, bottom right if memory serves :)
March 30th, 2011
@icywarm oh and it will be quicker and have more new users in it the more people use the therein-linked "dead account scanner" too, as that's ultimately the way it discovers new user accounts. There's no independent site crawling going on, it's all powered by that.
