It seems Flickrleech has had the plug pulled by the server admins due to excessive load on the servers.

Shame!

Having discovered PicLens through Greg's comment, I've been enjoying it a lot.

What I do find interesting is that it appears to allow me to view full size images fro users who don't allow their full-size images to be viewed.

I wrote more on that on my blog.

How about a ZooomrLeeche? That would be a neat tool

I've used FlickrLeech before and found it very cool.

But then I tried PicLens and the UI is just phenomenal (especially on my 30" Apple Cinema Display).

Paging does suck, but in FlickrLeech you still have to page, just less often.

Andrew,

Not having seen FlickrLeech 1 or 2 I really can't comment on it (hint, hint).

I couldn't really care less about the 3D view of pic lens. What I like is the full screen view and the ability to go through an entire flickr stream in full screen with out having to hit next page. Now I just wish they would add the ability to comment and favorite photos within pic lens.

I look forward to checking out FlickrLeech 2

Hey man... thanks for the hook-up! I appreciate it.

Greg (and others). I've been asked to take a look at integrating PicLens support in FlickrLeech 2. Quite honestly, I wasn't sure if people wanted FlickrLeech 2 to have a 3D view like PicLens (via FlashPlayer) or simply allow people to view results in PicLens.

I've tried PicLens and it is a very cool tool. Mucho kudos to the developers over at cooliris. For me, I'm not sure how much of it is novelty and how much of it is useful, but it is very cool. I wish that the plug-in a) could tell what the max resolution of an image is so that when you throw it to full creen it doesn't look pixelated (ie. cap the display to the full resolution - don't push it) and b) that it was supported on more than just FireFox and Safari. It's too niche that way, despite FireFox's overwhelming market share dominance.

It's a cool plug-in for people to try, and once I have FlickrLeech 2 out the door, I may look into supporting a handful of plugins, one of them being PicLens. But remember, PicLens requires you go to a page to "start the show". FlickrLeech bring the content to you. It allows for searching and I won't give too much away, but more ways to explore the data than only what is on the interestingness page, for example.

Stay tuned for the private beta to launch very shortly.

Thanks again Thomas!
