PicLens – must have browser add-on for photo enthusiasts

By | Published March 26, 2008

piclens-webmycI just came across this great browser add-on via Google Operating System.

PicLens is compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari and enables you to browse full-screen through the pictures from a website, in 3D!

It will enhance your Flickr/Picasa (and many more – see bellow) browsing experience into an interactive full-screen slide show that enables you to quickly find the picture you are looking for and go to that picture’s page. You can see on the right how my HDR Flickr Set looks when using PicLens.

Our new interactive "3D Wall" lets you effortlessly drag, click, and zoom your way around a wall of pictures for an extraordinary, full-screen viewing experience. Why mundanely flip through online photo galleries or squint at thumbnails from Google Image Search when you can fly through an immersive, full-screen experience instead?

Here’s a list of the sites fully supported by PicLens. Theoretically the add-on should work on any pictures site that is structured in such a way that can be understood by PicLens.

Animoto – create on the fly videos, online

By | Published March 14, 2008

493v1-max-150x150 As open platforms rampantly grow we will see more and more startups that offer services like Animoto. As covered by TechCrunch, Animoto enables you to create on the fly  videos from your photos. Here are some of Animoto’s really cool features:

  • it allows you to retrieve photos from popular sites like: Flickr, Facebook, Smugmug, Picasa, Photobucket or upload from your station
  • you can add a music soundtrack to your video – either from their database or upload your mp3
  • they support newly launched YouTube Everywhere API, thus allowing you to automatically upload your creation to YoutTube
  • you can create 30′ free videos or even longer videos at a small cost of $3 or $30 for unlimited yearly subscription
  • they have a Facebook application which allows you to use Animoto from inside your Facebook account.
  • you can embed the videos directly from Animoto or just use YouTube (see above)

Here’s a video made from my HDR set from Flickr. In case your were wondering the music is from Juno Soundrack.
