While I love this conceptually, cooliris.com hasn't had very rich support for varying types of RSS feeds. For instance, they fail to support basic MediaRSS constructs like groups, even though I pass it perfectly reasonable / compliant MediaRSS tags for multiple images in a post gallery.

I got (a very polite) brush off here: http://developer.cooliris.com/dev_forum/comments.php?Discuss...

Being a startup founder / engineer myself, I totally understand that one can't really accomodate every request immediately... but if the life of your product is to extract images out of RSS, I'd consider it pretty important to handle galleries as intelligently as possible.

Cooliris desperately needs to be more liberal in what they accept.
