PicLens is a FireFox browser plug-in that allows you to do Google image and DeviantArt searches, or YouTube video searches, etc., in a brand new style - as a 3D wall of images.

[link]A free download, PicLens is a wonderful way to do a search for visuals. From a CNET review I found at
[link] - it said, "PicLens, which we’ve covered before, is a browser plug-in that replaces the typical photo viewer you use on sites like Flickr. It’s recently been updated, and if you haven’t checked it out lately, now’s the time. It’s stunning.
The plug-in, which works in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Flock, and Safari (where it’s a bit limited), lets you create a moving wall of images where you’d otherwise just see your Web app’s more static display of pictures.
Launching the viewer is just a matter of clicking a new "play" icon that appears on images when you’re on a PicLens-supported site.
Sort of like CoverFlow, and in a very good way. You can fling the wall backwards and forward to see images in the list, zoom in to full-screen versions of files with a double-click, or start a slideshow. It’s a very Mac-like experience.
You also get a search bar in the viewer, which can scan for tagged images on Google, Yahoo, Flickr, PhotoBucket, SmugMug, and DeviantArt. The plug-in itself recognizes images from more sites, including Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Picassa Web Albums, and AOL Images."
