Chapter 7. Believe What You See – Flickr Data Analysis
Through the chapters of this book, we have travelled a journey encompassing different social networks, covering varied aspects of our digital lives, and we've utilized the tools from the data science toolbox to understand them better. This penultimate chapter is about a social network which has stood the test of time and is still widely used: Flickr. Once one of the most popular kids on the block, it still stands strong with a huge user base and some interesting features. In this chapter, we will learn about this visually driven social network through the lens of a data scientist. We will leverage what we learned from previous chapters to first understand the platform followed by ways of getting data from it, and then discuss different use cases. We will also touch upon some photography basics on the way to utilize domain knowledge for better results. Let's get start; say cheese!
