Life's too short to page through someone's Flickr photos five at a time. Try this!
And those thumbnails look to be just the right size for user icons, a la MSN Messenger or LiveJournal.
Flickr should roll that feature into their site. It's nice of the guy to offer the service, but ridiculous that he should be paying for it.

I came across this the other day as well. It certainly is nice to use while browsing people's streams. Flickr really needs to optimize their ui :\

The whole idea of opening up the Flickr API is to let others do the mods.

Yes, but apparently since his site is thumbnailing the photos, he's paying for the bandwidth.

hmmm, I am wondering why he doesn't display any ads to create revenue…

He's not paying bandwidth for thumbnail images (flickr hosted), only the page that lists them.
You can get a WP plugin to do it on your site:

heck yes you should. Photobucket, to me at least, seems to be a place to host pictures. Flickr is a photography community. People look through other's pictures and leave comments and such. It's also a great place to host photos as well.

Yeah photobucket has tried there hand at a community, but it hasn't worked to well.
