CoolIris may be the best kept secret of plug-ins on the web. Evolving out of the PicLens plug-in, CoolIris uses a 3D-esque interface to browse pictures and video across the web. There are many cool features for your iris with this app, pun intended. Users can “window shop” through Macy’s, Wal-Mart, Land’s End, and other supported retailers. TV shows, movies, pictures, and videos can be found instantly as CoolIris interfaces with supported sites like Hulu, YouTube, MySpace, Flickr, and others. There is a Discover feature that helps you find specific content by category. There’s even RSS support so you can stay abreast with the latest news from your favorite tech blog. Of course you can always use a simple search to find what you want. The results are displayed graphically on a “3D wall” that takes some getting used to when scrolling. It is a free download that works with Mac or Windows on Firefox or IE; and the company seems to be adding new features consistently. Definitely something to check out. [via]
