That's not a bad idea for image galleries. I've never been sold on Cooliris for browsing video galleries, however: for television shows, for example, I find it easier to look by series, season, and episode number than by an automatically generated thumbnail. Said thumbnail is often the same for every show in a season because it usually winds up being grabbed from the show's title sequence.
One of the really cool programs I found on the net recently is cooliris.com.
Maybe it already works, but if it doesnt that would be really cool to implement...
Cooliris is a way to really smooth and nice looking and very FAST actually browse all pictures and movies on the net or on the local hard drive...
Anyways, jjust an idea...
Took a quick look at Cooliris - it was pretty nice! There's no inherent problem in having Cooliris pull from a Pogoplug drive - I spent a little time with it over the past few days, and it works well with a small (several hundred) sample of various images (between 50k and 8 mb, jpg and bmp).
I'd say if you want to use it to browse your image files on a Pogo drive go ahead, and feel free to report anything to this thread if you see something wacky.
