Cooliris – Fastest Way to Browse Photos and Videos Online

Cooliris, founded in January 2006 with the punch line: “Think beyond the browser” has come up with a new concept for browsing. The idea behind the development is to help manage massive amounts of content using both hardware and software concepts making it easier to surf the web.

By creating a portfolio of free and easy-to-use products, Cooliris offers a unique value proposition to consumers, website owners, content providers, and advertisers. It supports open source initiatives, and recently developed the Gallery application for the Nexus One smart-phone. It is considered to be one of the most popular 3D photo gallery solutions available online.

Cooliris also enables its users enhance their photo browsing experience on iPhone. Recently it expanded its offerings and now provides a useful 3D photo gallery plugin that you can create and embed anywhere on the web.

The cool thing about embedding a Cooliris photo gallery is that instead of acting as a static photo gallery, it actually serves as a feed that updates each time you add new photos to your photo stream in services like Flickr or Picasa. This is one of the easiest ways to distribute photos to multiple blogs. Setting up the Cooliris embeddable photo gallery is a three step process; and it is customizable enough to easily match the theme and appearance of your site. The first step involves visiting the Express site, clicking on Create your own 3D wall and choosing the source you want to use as your photo stream.

The second step involves customizing your theme to match your website. You can choose from a small selection of premade background theme and the final step involves copying and pasting the embed code. The applications coolest feature is its 3D scrolling and pop-up image view windows that work perfectly within the self-contained, embedded photo gallery.
