I know it would take away from the "liveness" of it but it would be neat if you could wait for an entire rows worth of images to appear and have a smooth animation that pushed everything down to make room for that new row.

The way each image is added currently is a little "jarring" visually...

Cool though :-)

I suggest they fall in groups of four, join together, and disappear :)

It's probably pretty difficult to filter but there were some serious NSFW pics coming across my screen there. Just a heads up for anyone else who's still at their office.

Speaking of which, my idea was to use the current tech in detecting nude images to create a site like this that ONLY displays the NSFW pics from twitpic.

Lost interest in it though.

what tech is that ? I'm very interested in that!

There are a lot of academic papers on detecting things like skin-tones, common shapes etc in photos.

Sorry I don't have any links off-hand but search for nude image detector or porn detector etc and you should run into some PDFs.

I remember reading one by google guys about how they implemented the safe search filter for image search. It all comes down to identifying some features of the photo and running in through a trained ANN or SVM.

This sounds like a job for Mechanical Turk.

Too expensive. Make it a game instead.
