Thanks Yuvi!

Happy KidsHappy Kids Hosted on Zooomr

Earlier today I was reading Yuvi’s blog and got a pleasant surprise. Some of you may know Yuvi, others of you may not. Yuvi is an amazing self proclaimed, “15 year old wannabe geek from India.” He’s been doing some of the most detailed analysis on blog traffic that I’ve ever seen. Recently he’s been analyzing Robert Scoble’s blog and producing really great statistics. Super interesting new things that even Robert Scoble is learning about his blog.

And one of the most amazing parts of it all is that Yuvi is only 15 years old and doing this from India.

Well the surprise was today to see that Yuvi has decided to host his photos on Zooomr. Recently Yuvi put a post up in order to buy a Canon PowerShot S3 IS digital camera to take photos with and the world community of bloggers and readers was very supportive and donated enough money for Yuvi to get the camera. And so the world is now a more beautiful place because we all get to see it though Yuvi’s eyes and see one more part of this great big world that we all share. His photos, by the way, are superb. Check them out and be sure to leave some comments!

Thanks for choosing Zooomr Yuvi and I hope we can continue to live up to your expectations as we work hard to make Zooomr better and better.

Yuvi outlines some of the reasons why he is choosing Zooomr to host his photos below.

“And, I have decided to use Zooomr for hosting my pictures over Flickr. Why?

* The lone programmer there is just two years older than me! And, he was dablling in HTML when he was 5. Friggin cool.
* They give away free Pro accounts to bloggers. It’s good for a year, but I hope to be able to earn enough to buy my own Zooomr Pro account by then.
* The features rock! And, with just one person to convince, new features get in fast.

    Nice that’s interesting.
    Internet is a really good thing to meet people from anywhere in the world.
    Thanks internet, thanks Zooomr.

    As we are on January, 24, I am more and more impatient to see Mark III…
    So each time (lot of times a day) I look into my feed reader (netvibes) and I see a new post on Zooomr Blog, my heart palpitates strongly!
    Fortunately it is always good posts with nice pictures but not about Mark III… I can’t wait!

    You know, even though I commented I wouldn’t use Zooomr, I keep returning back for the same reasons. I think you guys have single-handedly created a very strong and devoted following…

    Living in a land of plenty - North America (Canada to be specific), it’s easy to forget about those in places where disposable income is hard to come by. It’s good to see stories like this where the tool (read: camera) can be obtained to get the media (read:photos) to those of us who would otherwise not see it. This is where Kristopher and Thomas (as evangelist) play very important roles. They are making the media storage and presentation available to practically everyone and kudos to you people, I sincerely mean that from the heart. This kind of story warms my heart and reminds me to be humble. It’s easy for me to say because I’m not footing the bill for servers and tech support (read: Kristoper) but I sincerely hope that when the PAID version of Zooomr comes out, that there is ALWAYS a free version of Zooomr (read: pro4life) for people in scenarios such as this.
    Congratulations Kristopher et all and many many thank you’s for the great product.
