Kinda neat. On a somewhat related topic (cool netware), my roomate last night showed me this new browser plug-in he was running (in Firefox, IIRC) that would display Google image search results in a 3-D sort of display similar to the look of the album covers thing in iTunes.
Having used internet since the time of the “Lynx” psuedo browser in the days when dial-in bulletin board services were all the rage, I gotta say….this is one of the coolest web related features I’ve seen. Not particularly productive or useful in the normal sense, but one hell of a “Wow” factor.
Ok, so the plug-in is called “PicLens”, and it’s free. In addition to Google image searches, it also works when searching YouTube, Smugmug, Photobucket, Yahoo, Flickr, etc.

Uh, why ?
Other than wasting a lot of bandwidth, I don’t see the purpose.

This is interesting. But, after searching the term “infopit”, it seems no one is sure what it means. Can you find out and share it with us?
Thanks
