Hey, Google! [UPDATED]

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 I was using awhile back, and I do clearly mark that we are in-fact not a part of Google. It’s just a temporary password — not cool Google.

Maybe you guys should get in-touch with me.

Here’s an article that talks about it.

Thanks,

Kristopher Tate

    Isn’t the google login thing just an email, essentially? How/why would they be banning based on that?

    It’s silly, I know. But who does, anyway? I haven’t received any word from Google yet.

    Google, what’s up?

    It is retarded… I’m sorry for the tone of my post, but it was really annoying. ;-)

    And the Google auto-responder email was very helpful…

    As I mentioned in another comment, I have not had any problems logging in via the Google account (no blocking, no nothing).

    However, I /did/ get bored of the TPass thing (although it’s wonderfully streamlined, kudos for the job you’ve done). So I have been thinking about using other login options. An improvement you could make to the login system is to /allow/ binding of multiple login methods to the same zooomr account.

    Oh, and you should offer the possibility to delete an account (this way I could get rid of the spurious one I created while testing MyOpenID) :)

    I already had an account before your move to external account systems (see http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/hoizey/ ). How can I log in with my zooomr account and keep my uploaded photos?
