A Present to the World (It’s my Birthday) [A MUST READ]
Outlook Hosted on ZooomrHey Friends, It’s my birthday and I wanted to share some very important information about Zooomr Mark III & Zooomr, as a company.
Official Mark III Roll-Out ETA!
Three weeks. In a week, we’ll be releasing our translation files and letting a select few into our sandbox to try things out. Afterwards, I’ve got some final staging to do and then we’ll officially launch Mark III.
You cannot believe how excited I am about this! 
(Especially after working 16 hour days for the last 9 months!)
Zooomr: the Company
I have some breaking news to share that may create a period of hiatus for Zooomr: Our initial investor heard we were cash positive and has decided to pull their money out of our accounts.
What does this mean?
As you all know, I’ve been working night and day in solely building and maintaining Zooomr since its conception — In this trust, I will continue to work night and day for our global users. It’s amazing even to me how much I’ve been able to accomplish as One Person.
And, while this will more than certainly hinder any purchasing of new storage systems to scale Mark III, Mark III will most certainly still be released.
In the above interests, we’ve started to look for fresh investment. We know there are angels, VCs and other investors reading our blog - so if you think you can help, please let us know!
Both Thomas Hawk and myself are pleased to be in the company of so many wonderful people every day. So much of what we do everyday is for our users and the many individuals who visit our site on a daily basis. Thank-you for all your support.
With continued love and respect,
April 30th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Good Luck! Can’t wait until Mark III and I’m sure you have loads on your plate.
Good luck again!

Happy Birthday, Kris!
Great job with Mark III, and I guess it would be multilingual at launch?
Best wishes to the company!

Happy Birthday, Kris!
April 30th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Just fabulous.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:59 pm
Kris - any chance you’d let us users purchase a drive and “donate” it for use on Zooomr.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Everyone, thank-you for your kind words!

Que tengás un muy feliz cumpleaños!!!
And thanks for the ETA. Is nice to finally know when I will able to put my hands on Mark III.
To Thomas Hawk: I have to admit that you were right when you said that I wasn’t correct to use images hosting on zooomr in my blog without linking back. Well I was waiting until a full redesign of my wordpress theme to put all in his place, and now it’s done. BTW, I search for a icon (or image) of zooomr to use as link but I cant find a nice one (to put in my sidebar). Let me know if you have one.
Thanks

Where can I feed back my bugs/issues to you to make sure that they are fixed in mark III? Or should I just go ahead and buy a pro flickr account and give up trying to help?

Kristopher的生日和Mark III发布日期
生日快乐，Kris。
前天，4月31日，是 Kristopher Tate 的生日, 但是生日聚会是在今天，所以现在再送上生日的祝福，还不算太晚。
在过去的9个月里面，为了推出 Zooomr 的新版, Kristopher 每天都工作…

Kris - I emailed you the other day, please let me know if you are still interested in the “donating” idea.
