Flickr Pro Stats

(Yes, there was another post here earlier. Screw it. This is actually MUCH cooler.)
Lurking in the depths of your Flickr Pro account is a link to "Your Stats". That's right, Flickr is providing you stat information about your Flickr Photos, like how folks are finding them, where they're coming from and stuff like that. Kinda handy since, well, you don't have access to Flickr's logs to figure that stuff out yourself. They even provide a nifty chart that highlights information in a way that is oddly similar to another free web statistic package that you may be familiar with, so there's no new learnin' you need to do.
Naturally, The Flickr Blog has all the details, along with a pointer to the helpful FAQ. Stats aren't available right away since it's kind of a big data crunch and they are only providing it for folks that ask.
In the mean time, they provide some of the best "Under Construction" animated GIFs I've seen since 1999.
