    "He works for Zooomr (three “o”s)"....

    but your 2nd mention only has two "o"'s :-)

    Interesting post though. Thanks !

    Intresting stuff - the boom in photo sharing sites is one of the things which still amazes me now - incredible growth, but aligned to what the web does best.
    I've tinkered with Zooomr but not really looked at it closely yet - I must do!

    Thanks much for a great night Robert. Really enjoyed catching up with you and always love photogeeking out with you.

    Looking forward to your new show on PodTech next month.

    I've posted a short set of a few of the photos from our photo shoot tonight here: http://beta.zooomr.com/smartsets/thomashawk/1913

    Thomas: that only works in Firefox. Cool, though!
  • Thomas Hawk · 3 years ago
    Robert, excellent point about the Firefox thing. Zooomr still needs work for IE6. Kristopher has been working on that. We spent some time trying to figure out a fix on Friday afternoon at Zooomr HQ but aren't there yet.

    If anyone who has a good grasp of IE6 standards has any advice as to what we might be able to do to get our templeting to work correctly in IE6 we'd love to get your feedback. This is something that is a high priorty for us to try and fix.

    Zooomr's logo is strikingly similar to Flickr's.

    On the way to work this morning we explored the functionality of the Vizrea application I was able to share with friends the viewing of my media collection and the sharing of my friend’s collections. I did this by down loading the pictures and videos to my phone, thus allowing us to view the remote content. Yes the Vizrea application and service is absolutely amazing. Vizrea is poised to revolutionize the sharing of media content around the world!

    Zooomr is lucky to have Thomas. Before he went there, he was a real boon to use at Tabblo and we miss him dearly! Thomas, any time you want to compose a tabblo of the cool stuff you're now putting on Zooomr, we'd love to see it.

    As to the acceleration of the pace of innovation that Zooomr is bringing back into the mix– I say fabuloso!
  • Thomas Hawk · 3 years ago
    Thanks for the nice words Antonio. I will have to get back on Tabblo and create a few more soon. It's a great service.

    In terms of IE support, Kris put out a number of fixes last night which should make Zooomr easier to use in IE. They are not all fixed yet but we got a lot of them and the pages look much better in Zooomr now for IE users.

    There is a conversation going on about the topic of why Picasa indexes better than Flickr images right now over at Flickr Central under the topic Google is penalizing Flickr, right?:
