I was browsing by Download Squad when I chanced upon up a link to flickrvision.

The site basically shows in real-time images being uploaded to people’s flickr accounts across the world by combining flickr and Google Maps. Despite the slightly stalker like qualities to it, I do non-the-less find it rather fascinating seeing what images are being uploaded elsewhere in the world. It’s like a quick 5 second glimpse at someone else’s life whether it’s pictures of themselves, protests or trips on the roller coaster.

The only thing about the site that I don’t like is the “light box” type viewing of the images, which is constently up on the screen, however some images come up and vanish so quickly that the image doesn’t have time to load outside the pinned bubble, which can get rather annoying when it obscures the images. I would have thought keeping the pinned bubbles and having a link on there to view the image it is showing would make more sense, but like most things web 2.0 the site is still in beta.

N.Design Studio, using a spot of Jquery, Javascript library and Fisheye component, came up with a stunning Mac like dock menu for websites.

I seem to be having a little issue with the icons being a bit jagged when they are enlarged but aside from that I am rather impressed with the smoothness of it.

Demo of the Dock Menu can be found here: Dock Menu Demo
