Cooliris: Cool image browsing

Every now and then, something new comes along that takes us by surprise. Now that statement can cover anything I know, but what I am referring to is the online world of image or photography. If you mix some RSS ideas with a nice interface and fluid interaction, you end up with Cooliris. Think of it as ‘RSS by pictures’. That’s pretty much how I got to know it. Really, it’s much more than that, particularly if  you a fan of Flickr and enjoy getting your daily dose of feeds (RSS or other).

My first exposure to this was on the iPhone via the Cooliris for iPhone app. I must admit, I was a little lost as to its use and how to make the most of it. However it was not long after installing the Cooliris application on the PC that I began to see its power.

The key here is in two things:

1. How you navigate Cooliris, and
2. How you can utilise it within your browser.

Imagine being able to browse all your Flickr favorites in the one window, or stumbling upon a website of photos and not having to click on every photo to browse them all. You can view them all in the same window, backwards and forwards and with one click view the image within the website it is stored on.

Now I could really go on for pages about this app but I think its best if you just try it and find out for yourself. So move on over to the Cooliris website and have some fun!
