PicLens: Browse Images with Style

The PicLens browser plugin is for those of you who want to browse images with style: It presents images on a shiny, endless 3D-wall, providing an immersive full-screen experience for viewing photos and videos on the supported sites and on sites that support Media RSS.

For example, you can use PicLens for amazon, Youtube, deviantART, Picasa, flickr, Photobucket, Myspace, Facebook, Bebo, hi5, all major image search engines, and many more websites.

Gone are the times when you had to hit the "next" button to go to the next page of images because PicLens loads images from the next pages automatically. You just keep on walking along the wall.

If you feel like exploring recent events PicLens with its "Discover" button slaps the latest news, sports, fashion, entertainment, and other images as well as videos, movie trailers etc. on your screen. With style, of course.

I just realized that my blog entry sounds like a praise--but there you can see how much I like this plugin! I give you an example: Google image search only displays 18 images, then I have to click the arrow button to see the next batch, which takes time. With PicLens, I basically have just one wall of images, which I can move quickly to scroll through the search results.

It also looks quite cool on deviantART when you can scroll through the masses of images with ease but unfortunately the drag and drop function (that's used for faving an image) gets lost.

Anyway, if you like images and shiny interfaces you should definitely give it a try. On their website http://www.piclens.com you will find the free plugin as well as a program to create PicLens-friendly photo galleries.
