Embed Flickr Photostreams in Web Pages as a Flash Slideshow

Want to display Flicks photos in web pages as a Flash slideshow? Look no further than PictoBrowser.

Here's a sample Flickr Photo slideshow generated just using PictoBrowser - all the pictures are displayed as thumbnail images in the lower navigation bar, you can also read the descriptions of individual images by hovering the mouse over the thumbnail.

To get started, you type your (or someone else's) Flickr user name and then select the tags or photo sets that you would like to embed in web pages. The default dimensions of the Flash slideshow is 500x580 but you are free to customize that as in the case above.

It's so good and impressive that Yahoo! should consider making PictoBrowser a native feature of Flickr. For geeks, there's another method for creating Flickr Slideshows.

I just tried the same feature yesterday on my own blog. This was using Picasa. But I love the transition of this format.

By the way, give us little more dope / info on the pictures?

yet another to grab things out of flickr....really amazing...
lets enjoy...
i hope it will be very help for so many of designers...

really impresive.. better than the flash slideshow...

well i would have been impressed if they load the picture on mousing over the thumbnails or if there is a way to auto run the slide show...
