I’ve just spent the last hour or two cruising around Google Images, Photobucket, Flickr and a few other image sites using this new Firefox plugin called ‘PicLens’. The software converts image sites to a simulated 3 dimensional art gallery. It is nice and quick, you have heaps and heaps of images you can access and you don’t have the distraction of text around the photos. This one is well worth a play.
My only criticism so far is that when you minimise the program the gallery doesn’t continue to load while I do something else and then come back to view them. My work around was to open a second Firefox window (not a tab) and then toggle between the screens using the ‘Windows’ button. Download PicLens hereand you can get download Firefox via this page.
Have fun with it.
