Quicker Flickr browsing with LiteFlick
LiteFlick is a fast way to see the most interesting Flickr photos of the day, and display Flickr search results in a nice-looking layout that makes it easy to find what you're looking for. It uses a jQuery lightbox plugin so you don't have to load a Flickr page to see a larger version and a caption of each photo.
Flickr's search results are great, and very detailed, but all the information they give you makes it tough to browse through pages of results looking for something you'll know when you see it. That's what makes LiteFlick's 10 x 8 grid of photos so useful. You can scan through 80 photos in seconds, and easily get more details when you want them. The crucial feature LiteFlick is missing is a Creative-Commons-only search, which would make finding photos for blog posts a whole lot faster.

Well, right now there are some arguably racy images right at the top of the page by default. Could get some people in trouble at some places-of-business.
So, this should read "possibly NSFW".

Only in the sense that Flickr's "interesting" page is possibly NSFW. If you can't browse Flickr at work, you might not want to use a Flickr browser at work.
