I like your idea
I like your idea of looking at the patterns of photos that crop up, and thinking about what kinds of popular images people might gravitate towards (i.e. is everyone really into posting pictures of a certain celebrity or album cover?).
The other part of this project that interests me is that each photo links back to the blog on which it is posted - so not only are you looking at these random images, but the link is a way to make a connection with an image (from a vast pool of choice) and then find out more about, where it came from, (maybe) why someone put it up. It seems to encourage a voyeuristic approach to these images.
