31 Days at Cooliris
February 24th, 2008The past 31 days has been an exhilarating time for the Cooliris Team. Here’s a rundown of some of the happenings:
- We unveiled PicLens 1.6 for Firefox and Internet Explorer, our revolutionary online image viewer that lets you effortlessly drag, search, zoom, and zip around thousands of images in a magical full-screen 3D environment
- We got to hang out with Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who dropped by Cooliris to check out PicLens 1.6 and the “3D Wall” — no kidding, check out the photo below!

- We optimized PicLens Lite, which allows webmasters to enable full-screen slideshow on their own websites and WordPress blogs.
- We responded to nearly 3,000+ emails from euphoric users hailing the new “3D Wall” of PicLens. Users described the PicLens experiences as “exquisite”, “stunning”, and even “religious”
- We got featured on 70+ YouTube videos by fans of PicLens
- We launched Cooliris Previews 2.6, featuring a basic slideshow viewer for Google Images and Yahoo Images.
- We danced the night away at our first mega Bhangra party, featuring Rishi (one of our very own team members) and the Stanford University Bhangra Dance Team

- We received tasty reviews from CNET, Wired, Downloadsquad, ReadWriteWeb, and hundreds of other blogs and news sources
- We welcomed a handful of new team members: Meg, Krishna, Alex, Jess, Rick, Ryan, Jason, Sarah, Nidhi, Truebe, Paul, Xandra, Noah, Jonah, Rishi, Rohan, Evan, Juan, and two Chris’s.
- We drank lots of coffee and got about 4.9 hours of sleep per night
- We launched this blog!
Needless to say, we’ve all been working tirelessly, but loving it! It’s a great time to be at Cooliris.

I worked with Shashi Seth in Newport News, Virginia. I’d like to convey my warmest (and long-overdue) congratulations on his continued success.
Will this message get to him? If not, is there another email address I might use?
