As a photography enthusiast this tool comes pretty handy. Flickr Leech uses the Flickr API to provide us with an overwhelming number of thumbs (see pic). Providing 200 thumbnails of a specific date or tag it’s great for the inspirational browsing when one is procrastinating in contrast to the 24 thumbs you get from Flickr. At least it is for me. It’s similar to the interestingness feature of Flickr but not exactly the same because it pulls “all” of the pictures (200) defined by you: Interestingness, By Username, By User ID, Favorites, By Photoset, Group Pool or your defined search. So you are able to get a more “global” view of the photostream of a certain person, group or youself.

Programmed by photographer Andrew Hauser Flickr Leech gets more features soon. Version 2 is soon to become public beta so if you like this app be sure to apply by filling out a short form on this site or even consider a small donation…
