Places like facebook and myspace, flickr, photobucket, imageshack... etc... even google image search, include pages with reams and reams of images to search through.
I have just found what may well be the single greatest browser plugin for viewing these pages in a rather awesome way. Anyone ever heard of cooliris?
https://cooliris.com/
Seriously, try it out. It basically creates a 3D "wall" of the images on a certain page; a screenshot seems appropriate, so here it is doing its thing with a google image search for "carrots". Why carrots? It seemed like the only thing I could search for that would give WorkSafe(tm) results.
I use cooliris under Chrome, as can be seen from these shots. That's not available from the site, I got it as a Chrome Extension from http://www.chromeextensions.org/music-videos-photos/cooliris/ - you must have the latest developer version of Chrome for it to work with the browser.
Supported stable browsers as per the official downloads page are Firefox 3.0 / 3.5 under Windows, Mac OSX 10.5/10.6 and linux (linux requires some specific tweaks to work it), IE 7 & 8 for Windows, and Safari for Mac OSX 10.5/10.6.
I'm using it with Chrome under Windows XP and haven't noticed any performance issues at all.

Oh, yeah. It does video too.
