Does anyone ever consider it odd that they rarely ever get comments on their pictures posted on flickr though flickr/stats shows tons of views

No. I think unless photos go into public groups or a user has a lot of contacts, people in general don't comment. Plus when you use tags, your public photos show up in search engines, so a lot of strangers may stop by quickly, then move on.

I have a photograph I uploaded in 2007 that still gets views every day, and I can't imagine why the words associated with it are a big search engine draw. It has no comments, even with all those views.

Oh I understand that very well. I have several pictures that are approaching a 1,000+ views without comments.

But at the same time, when I go exploring through flickr and I find a photo that I love, I try to say "great shot" at the very least.

Not that my flickr account is filled with photos that would be considered great works of art. :)

Do you ever find yourself wishing other applications besides Facebook had a "like" button? I do "favorite" things on Flickr, but I'd rather just "like" them. It's kind of shameful, my longing for the "like" button. Just one more thing to lay at Facebook's door!
