Cooliris goes from strength to strength

Back in August I reviewed an application called Cooliris (formerly PicLens). In concluding my review, I said that

…this tool is exciting, [and] exhibits great potential, but needs a little work to get it past the finish line. Having said that, I can easily see it being a common part of the web experience in time to come, particularly if the developers can sustain the “fun factor” supplied by navigating through content in this environment.

I’m pleased to say that since then Cooliris has moved forward. piclens3 While updating my Foxmarks today, what should I see on their (Foxmarks’) homepage but the self-same Cooliris, under their ‘Other add-ons we like’ category. If you’d like to try the application for yourself, click here to go to their website.

In my view it’s great that there are fun educational applications available; when confronted with the task of providing learning and development services for the organizations and institutions that we’re involved with, it’s sometimes easy to forget that above all else, learning should be a rewarding experience for everyone.

So well done to PicLens and maintain the development effort guys!
