Yay, an updated version of "Destroy Flickr" is now available. A few of they key updates: Revised navigation, Fullscreen viewing and an improved login screen. There is now the ability to change a few preferences to alter the look and feel of DestroyFlickr. At the moment, you can straighten thumbnails, load hi-res photos by default and disable transitions. Also included in this release is the ability to add and edit tags for your photos. This will certainly come in handy when uploading new photos. Jonnie does have plans to implement batch info editing as well as navigation by tags.

Supercook is a fab little search engine that hits up numerous recipe sites. The interface works well, allowing you to add and remove ingredients to your search easily.
