Cooliris

Cooliris is a browser extension for Firefox (all platforms), IE (Windows), and Safari (Mac and Windows)
that allows you to explore SERPs in a visual fashion. Once started, Cooliris goes fullscreen creating a
dynamic 3D wall you can navigate back and forth. You can search for different content among the Web,
news, blogs, images, and videos. Results can also be enlarged, shared via e-mail and, being media,
played right inside the application.

Flashmoto

Heres a more dynamic gallery using paper vision 3d
which is visually appealing but lacks in function and
can become quite annoy to navigate through at times

Digg Labs



Arc is a product from Digg Labs that shows the latest Diggs, and the relationships between the users submitting and digging them.
There are two different speed modes, the slower of which is great if you actually want to read the story headlines.




Stack is probably the most useful of the visualization offerings from Digg. Stories with the most recent activity load across the bottom
of the screen and then ‘Diggs’ seemingly fall from the sky to land and create a real-time graph of what stories are popular.
Whenever a ‘Digg’ hits a story stack, the title of the story is shown at the bottom of the screen, pushing previous stories down,
and eventually off the screen.



Swarm has one of the cooler user interfaces of all the Digg Labs offerings, with stories and users flying around on the screen.
When someone ‘diggs’ a story, they fly over to the circle representing the story itself and are briefly linked up to it.
Hovering over a story or user shows its name and allows you to click.
