Testing Zooomr
Command Module Abstract Hosted on Zooomr
I’m trying out a new photo sharing site named Zooomr. It’s similar to Flickr, however it has some interesting functionality like LightBox and better geotagging capability. A new version of this site is about to launch that will expand it’s capability. It’s great to see innovative photosharing sites like this. And the kicker… the founder of it is just 18 yrs old!
I just might switch over to this site if Flickr continues to force users to switch to unnecessary yahoo ID’s. Flickr is a great photo sharing site, but it’s disconcerting to see it continually integrate with the Yahoo. The site remained quite autonomous after Yahoo bought it, however that seems to be disappearing. Seems like they are not listening to their paying users anymore. Thus, sites like Zooomr will be attracting ex-Flickr users. If Zooomr can come up with an easy way to port over a Flickr user’s photos, EXIF data, tags, and geotags, people will jump over to them in a heartbeat.
