The reason this came to mind to post about was that I bumped into the BBC's Viewfinder blog, and the Your Pictures On A Theme page.
Anyway, on to Cooliris (used to be called PicLens).
Cooliris Browser add-on
If you don't have it, you can download it for Windows and Firefox here. Go here for other browsersThe add-on allows you to click an icon that appears on images on any site supporting it (like flickr or google's image search). You then get a wall showing all the images (the wall just goes on and on, as long as there are more images to fill it).
You can also embed the wall when you have a supported feed type for it, like mine below. This is from (and all of) my mono gallery:
Feed source / location
If you're interested the feed for the wall above is at http://www.highton-ridley.co.uk/monochrome/photos.rssAs with all free tools like this, you have to put up with adverts and various attempts to persuasively hijack you to other places. But other than that, enjoy!

Hello, I would like to thank you for your comment and sugestions on my Something Sighted blog. I just started taking pictures this year, and just discovered Photoshop last week so I'm trying to learn.
I really like your photography and appreciate suggestions. I have a feeling that there is a lot I will learn by exploring your blog.
Thanks again.
No worries James - glad to have you on board :)
Keep your eye out for some resource links I'll be posting soon.
Thanks Mark, I'll go and have a peep.
I also use Picassa3, you get a stream of photos all in your folders, and its so easy to load and blog from there.
Thanks for the input on the Fairy pic too.
@imac: Yeah, I've got Picassa3 as well but my main website is so much more organised ;)
very nice arrangement there. hmmm, i use lightroom so this reminds me of that too
@char: The real cool thing is when you do an image search on Google.
With the browser add-on, when you see the thumbnail results, click the overlapping square icon that appears when you hover over the bottom left hand corner and the images open up on that wall.
I sometimes do this when I want to see how other people have approached a particular subject.
It's such an easy way of browsing a lot of on-line images.
Cheers,
Mark
