Although FlickIt was one of the few widgets you actually had to pay for, weighing it at $5, it has been very well received. Developed by Chance Cube, FlickIt is a dashboard widget for Mac OS X Tiger that allows you to connect to Flickr, a photo sharing service created by Ludicorp before they were purchased by Yahoo! earlier this year.

FlickIt lets you search Flickr for usernames or tags and displays thumbnails of all results based on your search. That’s not all though, you can also view and get links to the actual photos — all sizes — in case you’d like to place a link or include that photo in your blog or anywhere online — or just about any document for that matter. FlickIt is definitely a widget worthy of a price tag.

As posted on ChanceCube.com FlickIt is donation-ware. What does that mean? Well, it means you can download FlickIt 2.5 for free and use it as much as you want. If you really enjoy using FlickIt, you can donate a couple bucks to allow Colin to continue supporting and developing a wonderful widget.
