Piclens

from Frankie: http://slashdot.org/articles/08/03/09/1323243.shtml

It talks about a new plugin for Firefox called Piclens:
http://www.piclens.com/site/firefox/win/

It eliminates the text on websites and only shows the pictures, what
what would this do in terms of how you browse the internet. No text
anymore, just pictures, or maybe even film. Would this make the
internet transform into just another TV set?

WARP!

Similar to Piclens above, you tube now has its own full screen graphic only player called "WARP"
Check it out, its pretty cool.

Visually fly through YouTube videos in the Fullscreen player

To me, editable text seems like one of the critical advantages that the Internet has over TV. Not everyone can participate in discussion via video and images (yet); text is simple and instant. While this article makes a valid point that graphics may get beefed-up on the net in the coming years (possibly with certain more corporate sites taking advantage of this feature), I doubt the element of text chat will ever be entirely eliminated.
Do you find this valuable?
