Piclens for Firefox

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

A buddy of mine sent me over this link for an addon to install on my firefox. I hate going to the firefox addon website because I never get off of it. I usually spend an hour browser through new addons as opposed to finding the one I was looking for in the first place. The name of the addon is Piclens (Windows) by cooliris. If you get a chance download it so you can play around with it. For Google images you search the image you are looking for and when it displays the results you see a little play button when you hover over the image. When you click on the play button it opens a new screen with a wall of images that you can maneuver around with your mouse in 3D like environment. This thing is way cool, just imagine all the possibilities. Below are some screen shots I took using it. Here is the Piclens for Mac and a video demo. Once you play with it for Google, imagine going through that many photos that quickly on a stock photography website. When you needing to look for that right image for your design. Imagine all the images results on one wall of photos that you can scroll through fast and easily. I love where this is going.
