Cooliris

Cooliris is a plug-in for your browser that gives the user a nice visual experience, similar to Apple's Cover Flow.

While, Cooliris is nothing new and has been around for awhile now, I decided to look into it more thanks to a post from David Warlick's excellent blog. A new feature to the plug-in lets users embed the html code into their site/blog to make for a wonderful browsing experience.

Also, you can totally customize the code to sync up to your photo feed or even Flickr.

Wyzo

Wyzo is a new browser built on P2P technologies. After using it for awhile I can best describe it as a cross between Opera/Firefox w/ some Chrome mixed in, and Safari sprinkled on top.

Since all browsers pretty much do the same thing (ahem browse) I'll discuss what I like best about it. Wyzo is a browser which is ideal for users who do a lot of multi-media/flash searches or for those who do a lot of downloading. I went to a lot of flash/java "heavy" sites and noticed a significant difference. Also, downloading does go faster due to their multi-source downloading ability.

If bit torrents are your cup of tea, Wyzo is another great choice to use as you can do it right in the browser, no need to use an external app (Opera users will be familiar w/ this).

The use of tabs is very similar to Safari you can drag/drop it in the order you like etc. Also, there are some nice security features you can control. Finally, CoolIris is built-in which makes for a nice visual experience.



I highly recommend giving Wyzo a look.
