I think the next direction I would like to see is that you allow sites that support piclens to skin the interface, giving full control of the visual layout - perhaps we'd like 4 rows of images or a vertical layout. I'd like to be able to set the background colour - perhaps we can use texture maps - I'd like sites logo to be more prominent. Perhaps a new version could allow us to suppress the discover button and limit the search to our own web sites. keep up the great work. Steve. Marvellous product.

The most important feature for me at the moment is the ability to open the links to the website of the picture/video in a tab in the background, because I tend to first search and open all pages that might be of interest to check them later. Regards mvol Hello Cooliris,

Believe when I say we're just getting started. We have loads of new features and supported sites coming. Regarding sites, PicLens currently support websites and blogs using standard Media RSS feeds. For those interested, our instructions at piclens.com/lite will teach you how to implement feeds on your own site or blog. We're, of course, also working to enable other larger well-known sites, in addition to the current list (Google Images, YouTube, Amazon, Flickr, Facebook ,etc). The Discover feature is constantly getting updated. We're adding more feeds, including many international ones. We also creating a back engine that will serve you news localized to your country. This is all happening now and through the next couple of months. As the majority of our users are non-US users, serving our international feeds is a key priority for us. PicLens for Safari was our very first beta version. Due to resource constraints, we had to scale back to focusing on Firefox and IE for a while. The good news is that we're working on a Safari version with the 3D Wall now. :) We have a new build coming out in the next week or so that addresses the audio sync issues. We're still testing it out with beta testers to see if we've squashed the bug. Super thanks, again, everyone. Feel free to tell your friends about PicLens, too. . . . heh, heh, a little sales pitch there! Kind regards, Alec & The Cooliris Team Hi there,

If piclens supported the widely already used rss tag enclosure, that is the standard way of including rich media in rss feeds. This would in fact make piclens more like a podcast viewer, making it much more useful. The problem with piclens is that websites have to go out of there was to support it.

It's great to add new features, but doesn't really help if you're skipping the basics and cutting off a portion of users. Integration with Safari is what I want most for PicLens right now.

Therefore you are totally dependent from those sites and have no control about the way you use. I would like to see a option to add individual sites of my choice. - Second, the discover news is ony for english users. People from other non-english countries won't have the chance to add/read news based on their language. Therefore this feature is useless for me. - Third, as some users already reported on addons.mozilla, Piclens does not work on images.google when customizegoogle is installed and the option Rewrite links to point straight to the images is checked. - Piclens is not really user-friendly and flexible because you can only search pictures/vids on some famous sites.

He did really well at the Olympic trials (many Best Times made in Omaha) but just missed making the final American team. We are really glad to have him back at Cooliris again! @SteveQ: Thanks for suggesting DailyMotion and favorite feeds. We're working on adding a lot more to Discovery and we'll definitely look into both of your suggestions! At the same time, please let DailyMotion know that as a user, you'd like to have them work with PicLens. The more a site hears from its users about PicLens, the more likely they are to work with us.

I'm running Windows XP SP3 integrated direct from msdn. I have seen youtube videos of how stacks are suppose to work but apparently they don't even show up in my browser. I right click and ask the tab to be added in my stack and the preview vanishes without showing any stacks, basically nothing happens. Secondly, there is no cooliris search menu in my firefox context menu, all it shows is send link & add to stack. Cooliris stacks doesn’t work on my Firefox 3.
