[...] Well there is no question about it. Zooomr. Zooomr has been around since March of this year and they have been really going head to head with Flickr. They have a lot more features than Flickr. I have been a member of zooomr for months now but barely ever used it. But just today TechCrunch reported they are offering twice the storage of Yahoo’s Flickr and while looking into that I found out they offer free pro accounts to bloggers, so Bye Bye Flickr. This picture down here is to activate my free pro account. Go get yours. Listen to this post [...]

[...] But beyond all the praise for Zooomr, the site still needs some development when it comes to more user-friendly upload possibilities beside the web-based one, easier to understand geotagging - I still have to figure it out for my pics (too bad it is not yet integrated in Plazes -, and albums. Therefore, I am really looking forward to Zooomr 2.0. [...]

FlickrImportr does the smart set thing for Flickr pre-upload, as well as handles geocoding automatically when you upload.

I’ve got to agree with the other people here who say the Zoomr site is just another Flickr (the front page in particular is an embarrasing rip-off of Flickr’s). The only thing here that I see that Flickr doesn’t already do is the Google Maps mashup for geotagging (but a Greasemonkey extension is all you need to fix that right now), and I just don’t see that smart tagging feature working in real life… At best people will tag the picture with the city it was taken in, and who’s to say that two photos taken in the same city around the same time are going to be from the same event. It also seems pointless, since more people are likely to tag the photos with the name of the event anyway.

One of the best photo sharing sites out there. Still a little rough around the edges but it could be the number 1 photo sharing site this time next year, and i guess Kris is kind of sick of hearing this but the guy is like 18 which blows my mind. This kid is going places.

From my point of view, geotagging is interresting when you shoot fotos in many different locations. I’m planning a trip around the world, and then i think it could be a good way for my family and friends to follow my journey.
So i can’t speak for others, but thats why i believe its worth taking the time to geotag photos.
Besides that, it is a nice site, the lighthouse a streamr are great features i think.

I don’t understand the use of geotagging in general. Its good that you can geotag photo but how is this useful for masses. For once it takes a long time to find location while you can just tag a photo and move on. Anyways I like the lightbox functionality.
I don’t consider you as a threat to flickr but if you guyz stick around, you might become youtube of photos.

@CD (comment #2)

I agree, Zooomr sucks. Why is everybody so up in arms over some talented kid who ripped off Flickr?

Oh well, another “talented” kid in the 80’s ripped off Apple is now the richest man in the world.

I believe it was Picasso who once said, “Good artists copy, great artists steal”.

Jim, I’m fixing that in Zooomr 2 — we know that it’s a pain, and you’ll be able to migrate over to a regular account.

The trouble with Zoomr (as I see it) is that one cannot LOG IN! Or rather, one can, via gmail or whatever, and that gets you a temporay password only.

I have tried to create an account, but the register/enroll form does not work.

Perhaps that is why the site has not too many users?

Basile, we’ve got some pretty hard hitters for us now on our Corporate team. When Zooomr 2 launches, I’m sure you will hear about us in the news.

As for the Alexa ratings, those only make-up 50-60% of all Internet Explorer users. Zooomr, because of its early stages is not frequented by many people who use Internet Explorer — So, I can assure you that while we’re not doing nearly the traffic that Flickr is doing yet, we are doing much better than the rankings shown on Alexa.

Damn, the people replying on TechChrunch these days are hypercritical. So, maybe this isn’t the most original idea. So? Originality is nice, yes, but it’s by no means necessary for sucess. Look at TV, advertising, music, games consoles…originality is nice, but not required. There is a new TV series launched every week, but we still watch repeats of Friends.

Zooomr is basically the same thing as Flickr, I hear you cry. Maybe, maybe not, I wouldn’t know, having never used either of them. But people like choice. Some people will prefer Zooomr just for it’s aethetics. Take the example of web-based email. Gmail added nothing substantially new to it, except for an unprecedented amount of storage, and a new interface. Why do I now use Gmail over Yahoo or Hotmail? I just happen to like the interface more. It doesn’t really do anything new, except archive my messages. I don’t care about that, it’s the design and feel of Gmail that I like.

Nobody can really predict what the response to this will be. The new beta hasn’t even been released yet.

what nobody seems to consider is that zooomr is simply too small to compete with flickr. unfortunately, i don’t know the exakt stats for zooomr, but http://www.alexaholic.com/flickr.com+zooomr.com should give a first impression. i assume, that zooomr has about 10′000 to 30′000 visits a day (on the basis of their ranking).

nothing against zooomr (impressive performance by kris and so on), but the media attention it gets stays in NO relation to its size (and as already mentioned, it’s nothing really new).

[...] Zooomr is startup founded by 17-year old Kristopher Tate in late 2005 which has a strong focus on geotagging, metadata, and localization. It uses these three things and a Google Maps mashup to enable a world of photosharing which I’m starting to appreciate quite a bit lately. Michael Arrington reports that Zooomr 2.0 is on its way and posts a few screenshots, funnily enough on Zooomr competitor Flickr (also, notice the r’s). Comments [...]

Even if it’s a visual “rip off”… The kid still deserves credit.

Good job, Kris.
