Flickrator: AJAX Flickr Browser in Your Dashboard

Flickr is a goldmine of awesome photos from amateur photographers. Flickrator, from Davide Zanotti, gives the user quick and easy access to images hosted on Flickr.

Type in “quack” and you’ll see all the images tagged with quack. Type in “Mac Pro” and you’ll see all the lucky sods with Mac Pros. Once you click on a thumbnail, it displays the picture information, along with a larger thumbnail. The widget includes direct links to picture sizes, the author’s Flickr page, and more, giving tons of information quickly and easily. It’s actually quite fun to pop in tags and browse through images for inspiration.

You can grab Flickrator from Davide Zannotti’s site.
