The Best Way to View Video & Pics on the Web

Last June Cooliris updated their PicLens tool for Firefox users.

The latest version of PicLens 1.7 for Firefox is now available for download as add-on. If you enjoy looking up videos or pictures on such sites as flickr, google, yahoo, and youtube, this is a must own add-on for the Firefox browser.

Using the add-on is simple and very cool. By simply clicking on the PicLens icon, Firefox users will be brought to a new 3D screen that provides a gallery of pictures and videos on a subject of interest. If you’re interested in butterflies for example, go to the search button choose a site’s library such as flickr.com or youtube.com and PicLens will find all videos and photos that fit that discription on the host site. All qualifying items are then displayed onto your screen with crisp small or large thumbnails that you can scroll through using PicLens’ 3D gallery. If you see something you like, simply click on the thumbnail and the item will either enlarge if it’s a picture or play if it’s a video right on the PicLens screen without even visiting the host site.

PicLens also has a “Discover” button that covers a host of other web items, such as news, photos, videos and even movies.

PicLens is simply the best and easiest way to view videos on the web. I very highly recomend it. Check-out PicLens yourself here. Oh by the way, did I mention it’s free.

If you do not have the Firefox browser, you can download the free application from here.

Enjoy!
