Zooomr Loves Bloggers

Oddca Swag

What is Zooomr? Well, it is very much like Flickr, except Zooomr is very interested in “where” you take pictures, and provides tools for you to Geo tag your photos. So it’s sort of like a flickr+Googlemaps+frappr mashup. Ahh, ok, got it….. Oh except it allow for audio comments on its photo’s as well, so you can sort of have a podcast embedded in your photo…. ok, wow. Oh, did I mention the photo’s have trackbacks as well…

And did I mention that they are going to give me and any other bloggers a pro-account who serve up 1 image from zoomr by putting a link in this comment thread.

Nice.

An example of the GeoTagging, see the thumbnails for “photos around this location”, quite frankly this has got some mind boggling implications that I have not wrapped my head around. Time to experiment.

    Hey Karl. Thanks for checking out Zooomr.

    You are right about the implications for the Zooomr/Google Maps mash up. We too believe that there are lots of implications. In our next version 2.0 which launches on Friday we make it much, much, easier to geotag and in the future plan on developing a whole mess of community rich tools to help you find other great photographers/bloggers/meetups/etc. in your neighborhood. There is so much potential with geotags and we are amazed at how many people are taking advantage of geotagging on Zooomr. And we suspect even more will once it’s even easier to geotag in version 2.0.

    Anyway, don’t hesitate to let us know how we can continue to improve the site. It is our constant goal to delight you our user.

    Best,

    Tom
