Abstract
Media objects, such as images or soundtracks, may be ranked according to a new class of metrics known as 'interestingness.' These rankings may be based at least in part on the quantity of user-entered metadata concerning the media object, the number of users who have assigned metadata to the media object, access patterns related to the media object, and/or a lapse of time related to the media object.
