Cooliris is Cool Indeed...

Being somewhat of an amateur graphic artist and all around web-media junkie, I found CoolIris to be especially helpful in sorting and locating all types of media in a timely manner that also serves to be entertaining almost as much as the media itself. When I'm designing a flyer or a T-shirt design for bands, a good portion of the time spent on the project is spent searching the web for images that I can alter and/or sample for inspiration. With Cooliris, I just click the icon (when I'm searching supported web sites) and scan the results on an infinite 3-D wall. This saves time by eliminating the need to click through page upon page of google images, when instead I just scroll through the 3-d wall and browse for whatever catches my eye.

I'd surmise that I watch quite a bit more TV shows on the web more than I do on actual TV. With the inception of web sites such as HULU and the like, I have a feeling that scheduled TV will be a thing of the past in near future anyway. Cooliris is supported by HULU and like google images, I just click the icon and away I go, locating my desired content usually within under a minute. This thing is practical as practical gets, and seeing as how this is only version 1.9, I can't wait to see further developments. Ever since I've downloaded it to my laptop and my desktop, I've used it every single day...I definitely give this product a big thumbs up.
