Attention website owners and developers! For those of you using the Cooliris Wall on your websites, we’ve released a new version with performance and animation improvements, which means that scrolling is faster and interactions are smoother. This does not require any action on your part, but we will be rolling out the new SWF to your Walls incrementally from our end.

We’ve also taken your feedback and feature requests and released a new version of Cooliris Express that you can start using today. Besides the new, slicker interface, here are some of the cool new things that you can expect with Cooliris Express version 1.5:

My Cooliris Walls Manager

Cooliris Express now includes a personal webpage that allows you to view, manage, and edit all of your Cooliris Walls in a centralized hub, so that you can easily keep track of all of your Walls on your blog, Facebook or wherever. This manager also allows you to dynamically edit the content or appearance of an existing Wall in real-time without having to create a new one from scratch. All you have to do is click “Login” at the upper right of the the Cooliris Express builder website and login with your Facebook or Google username to access your personal Wall manager.

comScore and Google Analytics Support

Now, you can measure the success of your Cooliris Walls with stats support from comScore and Google Analytics. With these stats, you can find out useful information like how many times a visitor clicks on each photo or video. So far, many of the publishers using Cooliris Walls have seen a five to six time increase in engagement on their web pages!

Better ways to share individual photos and videos in the Wall

Previously, you could only share entire Walls, but now you can actually share individual photos and videos in the Wall. So, if someone visits your site and sees something cool on your Cooliris Wall, he/she can one-click share that photo or video to Facebook or Twitter, driving more viral distribution of your content for further exposure and traffic.

Hope you enjoy the upgrades in Cooliris Express, and please send us feedback!

Cooliris Express Adoption News

We’ve just re-released an updated version of Cooliris for iPhone 1.6 to the iTunes App Store. (Sorry about the initial hiccup on our original 1.6 release!) This update includes a faster start-up time, performance and bug fixes (read: faster and better!), a new multi-search functionality, and a new app icon featuring our new logo.

The new “Search All” functionality means that not only can you do your regular Google, YouTube, and Picasa searches, you can actually search across all of our 10 search engines at once, enabling you to find what you’re looking for even faster! Or, if you want to search across specific search engines, like say Bing, Twitter, and Flickr, you can go into your Preferences and choose the providers you would like to use for the “Search All” function.

Hope you enjoy the new update, and if you do, please don’t forget to give us a rating in the App Store!

For those of you who were experiencing problems with the v1.6.0 release, we hope that v1.6.1 addresses all of the issues. If you’re happy with the update, please do re-rate us or adjust your ratings/reviews accordingly. If you’re still seeing issues you may need to turn your phone all the way off and back on to clear out some funky bits that may be hanging out in the phone’s cache memory.
