The full screen didn't work for me… firefox2 on a mac. I clicked, but nada. Just me?

I saw a different one being used over on draplin.com, PictoBrowser that does a similar thang. It seems a bit faster than the Flickr one but it is not full screen nor do I think that it includes videos. Have to try 'em both, I guess…

Ever since Flickr added the ability to upload videos to its service it has seemed to keep adding new features. Some people could argue that many of these features should have already been in Flickr but that fact is that Flickr already was the best photo sharing site and this is another example of why that is.

Thanks for posting about this. I added it to the sidebar of my blog. My only complaint is that when new photos are added to the group in the slideshow it does not begin with the most recently added photos. Any thoughts about this issue?

Yeah, I've always thought it takes them a while to add new features. But when they do they're pretty handy.

We had this at Webshots for a couple YEARS now.

But you know, no one cared.

Just sayin'
