Greenwich Foot Tunnel (2) Hosted on ZooomrThanks to Gridrunner for this fantastic shot of an underwater Greenwich Foot Tunnel. I thought the photo was great, but when I saw it on the Google map tag underwater that made it that much cooler for me. Nice work.
receipe for fun Hosted on ZooomrWell, it’s Friday and Fridays are all about fun, so what better photo than “receipe for fun,” by jpg house. The Portals on this photo are fantastic and we just couldn’t resist sharing it. Go ahead, click through on the photo. You know you want to.
Thanks, by the way, to all of you who have been building Portals on Zooomr. Since our launch earlier this week we’ve had over 1,000 Portals built. To see some of the creative ways people are using Portals, be sure and check out our discover Portals page.
UPDATE (15:41 PDT): We’re back online — As a bonus, I got a chance to upgrade our infrastructure — you might notice subtle speed-ups here and there.
Sorry for any inconveniences. –Kristopher
Gawwkkk! It seems that some of those Snakes on those Planes have made their way over onto our servers and unfortunately snakes and Linux servers don’t mix well. Kristopher is en route and will hopefully have us back up in an hour or so. In the meantime enjoy this comic from bLaugh. Click through on the comic to find some very valid reasons to go see Snakes on a Plane.
Also here’s a link to a Linux game board that has a client/server snakes game for up to four people. Here’s also something interesting to read about snake venom while you wait.
Our sincerest apologies and thanks for bearing with us.
Update: It looks like we are still having some snake problems. Apparantly these snakes are tougher than we first thought. I just spoke with Kristopher and he thinks we are at least another hour from getting things back up.
Update #2: It looks like we are back up. Thanks all for your patience.

Hey everyone. Thanks for all of the creative Portals that you have been making and posting up on Zooomr.
Last night Kristopher added a cool section on Zooomr where you can discover new Portals that people are making and uploading. If you look at the top of your Zooomr page you will see an item Discover. Under this discover menu you can see a section for portals where you can go and check more portals out as they are created. You can also discover other things like geotagged photos, photos with Zooomrtations, etc.
Enjoy.
Also Kristopher fixed a lot of our bugs with IE6 last night. Hopefully for those of you using Internet Explorer your experience is a bit better this morning. We still have a few more bugs to fix with IE, though.
Stay tuned for more awesome features from Zooomr and don’t forget to tell your friends!

Man and check out the tour of London that Patrick put together! Very cool Patrick. Thanks all for coming up with such great uses for Portals today.
CNET has a nice write up out on Portals at Zooomr here. To see how Rafe Needleman used Portals to share a tour of CNET, click on this photo and then follow his tour of portals.
Here’s another example of a portal from my photo shoot with Robert Scoble last night. Just hover over Robert and then click and zooom through to the next photo to get a sense of how portals work.
Do you have an interesting portal? Leave a link in the comments of this post so we can check them out.
Oh, and if you are a blogger and want a free 2.5GB per month Pro account from Zooomr we have an offer still going. Sign up for Zooomr and host one photo on your blog and then submit the link to our Proitizer and we’ll upgrade you to Pro for free. More details here.
Hey Everyone, Kristopher here. Lots to explain about this release of Zooomr, but I’m pretty tired. Of notice: Robert Scoble talked a little bit about Portals — We were also posted on TechCrunch again.
I managed to shoot a video for your distinct viewing pleasure, though — More to come later today.

Hey Everyone, we’ve been delayed a little bit because the new notes & portals system requires an update to our privacy system.
Anyways, here’s some more screenshots of Portals before we launch soon.
Thanks!
