PicLens instantly transforms your browser into a full-screen, 3D experience for viewing images on the web. Photos will come to life via a cinematic presentation that goes well beyond the confines of the traditional browser window. With PicLens, browsing and viewing images on the web will never be the same again.
Their new interactive “3D Wall” lets you effortlessly drag, click, and zoom your way around a wall of pictures for an extraordinary, full-screen viewing experience. Why mundanely flip through online photo galleries or squint at thumbnails from Google Image Search when you can fly through an immersive, full-screen experience instead?
I am really amazed with the ability of PicLens. It saves me a lot of time on click “Next Page” buttons. I can scroll through all images easily and quickly. Download it and I am sure you will love it too.
Requirements: Internet Explorer, Firefox and Limited Support with Safari

Do you have a blog, online profile, or some other personal web page? Would you like to communicate more with your visitors? Google has launched a new Google Talk feature that lets visitors to your web site chat with you. They call it chatback because instead of you doing all the talking on your blog, your visitors can talk back to you. Sure, they could leave comments, but those are public and hard to use for a real conversation. With chatback, it’s a real instant message session.
To use chatback, you must have a Google Talk account, but your visitors don’t have to! You can use it on any web page that you can add HTML content to. To get started, visit the chatback start page. Then just copy the provided HTML snippet to your web site. Visitors will then see a badge on your site indicating your availability, and can click to start a chat with you.

The image transition manager is a javascript library based on scriptaculous and prototype. It supports several image transitions, such as fading, appearing, sliding, growing and shrinking. Because it uses the unobtrusive javascript technique, no inline javascript is needed and hyperlinks still function when javascript is disabled.
I think the script works really great, you can have 8 (more to come) image transition effects to spice up your site. However, I found it a bit slow to load the image first time. It would be much better if the script preloads all the images beforehand.
Requirements: Scriptaculous 1.7.3 beta and Prototypejs 1.5.1.1 Framwork

We are now coming to a point where the browsers are supporting a lot of new features, giving us more opportunities to take advantage of previously unused pseudo elements. Advanced Css Menu Tricks is instead of simply altering the state of the navigation item the user is currently rolling over, we want to alter the non navigation items as well. This will help focus the users attention on the item they have selected on, and create a new look and feel for the site overall.
Advanced Css Menu Tricks will work perfectly in any modern browser, yet still be fully functional in your older version of IE as well.

Some users complained that the slider isn’t unobstrusive through its use of the bump effect, you can change the effect in the mooslide.js. Replace the Fx.Transitions.Bounce.easeOut with something like Fx.Transitions.linear.
