I started Zooomr a little over two months ago with the intention of connecting people together through the art of photography. 1000 photos later, I’m pleased to be reporting that Zooomr is growing in many (great) ways.

7 January 2006 | Development | 3 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I always like to jump through as little hoops as possible to get what I want. That’s why I’ve got some new stuff and some improvements on the old.
