What is going on with flickr?

I used to get 0-3 views a day, occasional spikes if i uploaded a lot and some random spikes.. i changed my display name on there a while back to my real name.

Last 3 days iv gotten 30-40 views a day!   mad stuff!

An image has probably been linked from a blog. Every now and again it happens to me. Mind you one time one of them got onto the explore front page and I got something like 700 views that day
