Wh y Di d we c h o o s e i t ?
Its pretty Pretty KICK ASS! We chose it because of
the visual appeal and how easy it makes it to find images and videos online.
We saw it as the visualization of Web 2.0
Ho w d o e s t h e c o mp a n y ma k e mo n e y ? As you scroll through the results for your
searches on videos or images a number of the included results are advertisements.
The theory behind this is that as you look through the videos you may see an add of a product related to your search that would interest you and you would click on it.
Then the company sponsoring the add gets more directed viewership.
An Ad d
Do e s t h e Ap p l i c a t i o n h a v e p o t e n t i a l ? Most likely this website will not be the next
mega company on the net. However the ability to search through this
many image and video hosting websites has a definite appeal which will only grow as the number of host websites grows.
Additionally the ability to create online slideshows including images and video will be increasingly useful with the growth of user created websites in web 2.0.
Ev a l u a t i o n
The application is very easy to use both in searching for videos or pictures online.
Additionally its very easy to upload pictures and videos to the website to contribute to the growing web 2.0 mass of user information.
And of course, it looks awesome.

Ho w d o e s i t ma t c h u p ?
Very few websites or applications out there have an identical or even similar purpose.
The application of transverse searches on multiple browsers is highly innovative and useful.
Additionally it is free! Cooliris is unique in that it allows you to
visualize your search objects which removes limitations and makes searches much more efficient.
Te a m f a n t a s i e s
Our team wishes that the application had more databases available. Especially for video.
Plus we would like to see a more in depth summery as you scroll over a search option.
