someone else's slide show

May 15, 2007 12:45 PM

I'm looking for a website that I can use as a screen saver. The site should have a continuous slide show function with random and weird pictures that don't repeat for 15 minutes or so.

I've gotten bored with all my own pictures on my computer and need something diverting on my screen while I work with non computer related stuff.

I don't believe flickr has this function but I know it exists somewhere.

I have been pretty fascinated with flickrvision today. It might be worth checking out.

The vastly underrated screensaver Mosaica gives you an endless slideshow interspersed in a mosaic of the day's most "interesting" pictures on Flickr. I use it at home and at work.

You can also browse through the Great Flickr Tools Collection. Something there may fit your needs. I saw Mosaica on there as I was glancing through it...

Oh, I also love Tickr for this. Its no longer updated but v 1.1 works fine. Type in any tag (abstract, people, sanfrancisco, whatever...) and have a continuos slideshow going by on the edge of your screen.

Similar to these tools is Slickr, a screensaver that grabs flickr images and displays them (with the Ken Burns Effect).
