Flickr-Whack
I uploaded this photo to my Flickr account today with some weird tags, because it was a weird photo. As i did so I wondered to myself, 'I wonder how many people have ever uploaded a photo and felt it fitting to label it "buggly"?'
So, I typed in flickr.com/photos/tags/buggly to see, and lo and behold there was only one.
This reminded me of Google-whacking; had I just stumbled upon the (very unoriginal) idea of Flickr-whacks? Does anybody have anymore?
I'd like this post to be a shining beacon to people like me, who in the course of a normal day waste vaste ammounts of time doing things like typing random words into Flickr.
Comment away with your Flickr-Whacks, Flickrwhacks, FlickrWhacking, whatever.

Sounds like the group Flickr Tag Orphan Rescue Society, which hunts for 'orphan tags' and then tries to add that tag to another photo. Have a look.

Oh, I thought i'd stumbled on a truly world class time-waster there. Back to the drawing board!

I think to make it really challenging, it should be more like googlewhacking:
Find sets of two tags that only return one image.
