FlickrStorm - Flashy Flash-based Flickr Finder

Yesterday we brought you Flickr Leech, a website built with Flickr's API to allow you to see 500 thumbnails at once. Today we bring you FlickrStorm, another web application built on Flickr's API, but this time built in Flash. FlickrStorm is in some ways more polished than Flickr Leech, but presents far fewer thumbnails - for raw browsing horsepower, Flicker Leech still wins. But where FlickrStorm shines is in the completeness of the application; clicking on a thumbnail will show the full-sized image on the right of the same screen rather than popping up a new tab or window, and each thumbnail clicked is tracked in your history, which is a set of even smaller thumbnails to help you get back to images you have already seen.

You can also toggle your between your history thumbnails, and your "tray", which is a place to store images for later easy retrieval. You then have the option of viewing all images in your tray on a special page that you can link to, and use to download all of the images at once.

Finally, under advanced options you have the ability to choose which photos you'd like to look at based on the license attributed to the photos. So if you really only want to see photos that you are allowed to use commercially, you can do that, plus a number of other Creative Commons licenses.
