More TagAssist Goodies
30 March 2006 | Announcements | No Comments
I simply love TagAssist; it’s just so handy! How could it get any better? Why, add US and World States, of course!
Yes, that’s right, TagAssist now supports both US and World State (ISO 3166-1) 2-letter codes. Try CA (Canada & California), WA (Washington State), NY (New York), US (United States), DE (Germany & Delaware), or […]
Zooomr 2 Roll Out
30 March 2006 | Announcements | 11 Comments
Yes, it’s all true — There is a Zooomr 2.0 and over the next week-and-a-half, I will be rolling it out for everyone. Zooomr 2 will include new features and will be better hosted. The first new innovation of Zooomr 2 is already here and it’s something I’ve cooked-up in the last two days. What […]
Attention Developers

Hey everyone, good stuff to talk about today. As I briefly announced at SFWIN last week, Zooomr now supports the Flickr API.
What does this mean?
This means that all of the thousands of libraries and applications available for flickr can be used with Zooomr with just a few quick modifications. Here’s what’s required:
Changing the following URL […]
Media Spike?
24 March 2006 | Announcements | No Comments
Yes, Zooomr is down at the moment. This is the last week that Zooomr will be down — I’ve been working on getting some outside money for Zooomr and I should be better funded soon. It’s pretty wrenching for me to see Zooomr down.
Anyways, if you want to get a hold of me, sign-up […]

Find Photos by Airport
19 March 2006 | Announcements | 5 Comments
This is something cool that I have cooked-up to show how awesome geotags are. Just like PeopleTags, TagAssist now can find geotags located near an airport! Currently there are 2940 airports supported between the two major airport codes — ICAO and IATA. This means that when you search for SFO (San Francisco), SJC (San […]
Bigger in Belgium?

I just got official word that Zooomr was published in Metrotime again — this time with a full-page spread. And again, here’s the translation with photo of the print:
SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD SHAKES PHOTOSERVICE OUT OF HIS SLEEVE
SAN FRANCISCO: Kristopher Tate has created an online photoservice that
measures up without many problems to established services such as
Flickr. […]
Status Update
15 March 2006 | Announcements | 2 Comments
Okay here’s an update for everyone:
Talking with different dedicated providers on negotiating the best deal possible.
Zooomr is still hosted from the same infrastructure.
Zooomr is much more fast due to the fact that we are now using The Coral CDN to cache static content.
To date, over 22GBs have been served up in the last 52 hours.
More […]
Hey, Google! [UPDATED]
15 March 2006 | Announcements | 5 Comments
UPDATE 15.3.2006 22:27: After finally having the chance to check this out myself, it appears that our Google login system works exactly like it should. Perhaps we were mistaken.
I’m not 100% sure, but it seems that Google is temporarily disabling accounts that are using Zooomr. What’s up with that?
It’s much better than the XMPP mechanism […]
Big in Belgium?
15 March 2006 | Press & Accolades | 9 Comments
Zooomr’s Dutch localizer, Kris Vandecruys, caught me in today’s issue of Metro. Here’s what he had to say:
SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD WHIZZKID OUTSMARTS YAHOO’S PHOTOSERVICE
“The 17-year old Kristopher Tate has, in a mere 3 months time, hacked
together a photoservice on steroids. His application offers much better
services than competitors such as Flickr, Yahoo’s Photoservice, and
believes in the […]
