The idea behind this interface is, that there is no 'relevant' content.
People browse sites like this for entertainment, same applies for Flickr and
YouTube. The purpose of the interface is to elicit a mouse click and to
pleasantly surprise people. The associative links bring users more of the
same, steering them in a certain direction.

Like with http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/ there is no task
to be completed. People start without a clear goal, and the interface might
help them to find something they really like.
