Blogger.com has just released their newest feature yesterday which they call “Blogger Play“. At first I thought it was a game of some sort but I checked out the link and I found something different yet interesting.

Blogger play is a page that features a real-time slide-show of pics automatically taken from blogspot blogs.

Blogger Play will show you a never-ending stream of images that were just uploaded to public Blogger blogs. You can click the image to be taken directly to the blog post it was uploaded to, or click “show info” to see an overlay with the post title, a snippet.

There is a slider at the bottom where you could change the speed of the transition of images. However, the max speed depends on the internet connection of the user because the images are downloaded simultaneously in real-time.

If you do not want your pictures to be broadcasted all over the net (Little shy, eh?) you could ask Blogger to remove your blog from their listings. It is also interesting to note that their engine automatically filters the pics with “adult content” before putting it into the slideshow.

Blogger play is a simple yet useful feature that is great as a screensaver or for those who are looking for new blogs to read. Check it out, who knows, you might see your own uploaded pics there!
