    Flickr is filtered in my country by stupid internet censorship staff, I’m trying to use your system as an alternative.
    However I think your sign up/sign in system is too complicated and confusing and this may cause new users to not become permanent users.

    Hmm, a question arose. Why is this posted under General, but the post on December 8 under Zooomr Highlights?

    Wrong place for a comment I know. but I followed from your normal TomasHawk blog to the Zooomr site to see if I perhaps might use it instead of flickr, and I couldnt find a good place to post the comment there.

    The demo of Zooomr is nice but is really lacking a nice link to a pricing page. It says a basic account is free but doesnt say what a basic account is, nor how much it costs to upgrade. I like to see these things before I hit signup.

    It would also make a lot of sense to put a price/feature comparison chart with flickr since that’s what we’ll all be comparing with.

    Hey rhubarb, there is no pricing info, because there is no pricing, as of yet. I can’t remember what the “regular” account gives you in uploads, but it does give you unlimited storage and doesn’t limit your account to 200 visible photos.

    The “Pro” account, available to bloggers for free, gives you 4gb in uploads per month, with unlimited storage.

    Zooomr was first with geotagging and has had 4gb uploading for months (2.5gb before that). Zooomr also has audio annotations, portals, and localization, which flickr users don’t have.

    One thing you might miss is Organizr, but I imagine we’ll get a pretty slick solution in place of that here with MIII.

    I’d really like to highlight the localization. Zooomr is localized in 17 languages (by my count). Why is that important to you? Well, you get to see photos taken by locals, not tourists. Don’t get me wrong, tourists take great shots, but locals give you the shots of places and people no tourist could ever take. Just as someone from Japan would not be able to cover San Francisco like Thomas Hawk, He wouldn’t be able to cover Tokyo like someone living there.

    Anyway, better go…I had a baby last night.

    C’mon over, buddy, the water’s fine.
