The Seadragon team released a service that lets you easily turn your giant pictures into nice zoomable UIs: Seadragon is built on Azure and gives you the following benefits: Images always load up really fast, no matter how big the image is – You can zoom and pan smoothly to every detail of the image. To use, just type the image URL and it’ll be converted for you. Next you can share the result on Delicious, Digg, Facebook or Twitter, or embed it. Finally, it's smart enought to determine whether to use AJAX (if Silverlight is not installed) or Silverlight (if it’s installed and if you use a supported browser/OS combo).
