> "See the big picture of your work to know what to shoot next time." There's a bunch of reasons why your photo of a bat flying overhead with sun shining through wings gets a lot of likes. It doesn't mean you need to go out next week and shoot more bats. Good photographers shoot what their own eyes and minds find appealing, not what stats tell them to. Photography should encourage conversational feedback and analysis. Counting hits and likes takes away from the intellectual sharing of ideas sparked by the image, replacing it with the cold currency of analytics data. Unless you're publishing for stock libraries or something, 'number of likes' isn't reliable as a measure of success. (And shouldn't they be using https for sign-up and login forms? Okay, they're in beta... fair go fair enough).
