I thought this kind of flow browsing can only be done in the movie. Apparently, Cooliris did the trick by utilizing Leopard's coverflow. I'm not sure if it's a nice tool. It's a darn cool tool for sure. I felt dizzy after using it for 20 mins :X
Currently it's limited only to a few well-known websites (Google, youtube, yahoo, facebook, myspace...some more). This thing is free! It launches on your firefox as an add-on component. Once it's running full screen, you can't use spaces and expose..quite retarded, right?!

Hi Alan,
Thank you for posting about Cooliris! We truly appreciate it. We're delighted to hear that you are enjoying Cooliris and we hope your readers will too.
Keystrokes within Cooliris is a great idea and we'll definitely consider adding that feature into future versions.
As for the usefulness - think about how much time you save browsing pictures (we've eliminated the next button!). We've also added the ability to present Powerpoints via Cooliris. You can also keep on top of the latest news with Discover. To learn more, please check out http://cooliris.com/demo to learn more.
Thanks again,
Luna and The Cooliris Team
Hey no problem at all. I like the idea of the 3D wall.
You can also make it usable in conjunction with iTunes (for music), iPhoto (for images). Well..not sure how it's going to work out for you guys. But I'll definitely want a 3D wall of music albums. I enjoy picking random music that way.
I got some more suggestions here too if you're reading this, probably not. But here you are
1. Have an option allow to copy image
2. Have an option allows organization/orientation would be great. Ex. In News group by type, date, that might defeat the purpose of 3D wall though.
3. Mac users prefer the cute (X, _, +) then the Windows (_, X) buttons.
4. Change the music on the demo video. Really not digging that kind of US Navy commercial music. :D Something edgier maybe.
