Today on FreeMacWare I posted about a fun app called Photopolis. It turns your photo library into a big city that you can walk around in.

Be sure to head over there for a longer write up and an example of my city.

This morning on TUAW, they posted about a great new Safari Plugin called Piclens. With this plugin installed, visiting sites like Flickr and Facebook are way more enjoyable.

To install, just download the package and run the installer. You’ll have to restart Safari to activate the plugin. Once installed, anytime you mouseover thumbnails on a page there will be a little icon that pops up. (pictured above) Clicking on that icon will create a slideshow of all the pictures on that page. It’s much like a iPhoto slideshow, but pulling pictures from the internet. When you’re done, just hit “esc” or click on the x in the corner.

The plugin is for Safari only and it’s in beta right now. But I used it for 15 minutes on different sites and had no problems. Fun!

Today on FreeMacWare, I posted about a great new tool for uploading your photos to Flickr.com. That tool will make it even easier to share your photos.

Below are five Mac OS X freeware Flickr apps that you should know about:

1. Gleam - Gleam is the best way I’ve found to upload images to Flickr. The interface is just perfect.

2. FlickrGet - When you find a Flickr set you like, paste the URL in this app to download the hole thing at once.

3. Sniper - It’s like iPhoto for your flickr account. Cruise your photos with this app instead of the cliick after click of navigating Flickr.

4. Tickr - You can choose any keyword or user and have their images scroll along the side of your Mac screen.

5. Flickr Backup - With all the work you’ve put into your Flickr account, be sure to get a nice backup of it all.

If you have another one you like, feel free to leave it in the comments. We’re always looking for new freeware to check out.
