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.
Zooomr wouldn’t be anything without its community of testers and localizers — thanks everyone.

New Stuff
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.
The first, is that Zooomrtations can now be loaded inline/inset within most display elements. I couldn’t get it into the […]
