I know it's a free service and you guys are great (and don't yet belong to the loathsome Yahoo!) but I'm very disapponted at this extended 3+ day downtime.

Enuf's enuf! 12 to 24 hours has come and gone...Quit flapping your jaws about how great the site WILL BE and get it up already. Honestly, I can't for the life of me understand why you aren't running parallel systems so that you could have kept MK2 up during your upgrade. It would have made more sense to freeze all uploads to Mk2 but still keep it up so users could access our photos, and browse others. I wonder how many people you will alienate by being down for days at a time both on your first aborted attempt and now your second try at rolling out Mk3? Thomas, I'd be willing to bet a lot of $ that if you weren't the CEO and were just a user of Zooomr, you would be quite vocal and critical of the way the upgrade has been handled, with services completely down for days at a time and users locked out of access to their photos. Something to think about... C’mon guys! Enuf’s enuf! 12 to 24 hours has come and gone…Quit flapping your jaws about how great the site WILL BE and get it up already.

Boasting about articles describing the new functionality (on TH's blog in particular), and then not having it actually available is a terrible marketing strategy. Don't even get me started on bragging so much about the marketplace, and not even having a launch date for it... I sat around and waited anxiously for M3 the *first* time, so I have to admit I'm not so interested in waiting at the keyboard this time. That said, I hope the upgrade happens quickly this time, and if it doesn't, that you don't leave your users in the dark again. The fact is, whether you do all this for free or not, the users are what make it worth it. Sure, you'll have your die-hards that will sit and wait no matter what, but for everyone of those I bet there are at least 10 people who will casually brush off Zooomr without a second thought. In the game you're trying to bust into, that's a very important thing to realize. Here's hoping everything goes smoothly (and quickly). I have to agree with the AC above.

How the hell can an upgrade take 48 hours? And why can't you make the existing service available during that time? I've never heard of this kind of thing -- you guys really missed the boat being covered on TechCrunch, and being *down*. As well as promising an iminent release for THREE MONTHS. This is a joke.

Being able to make some kind of connection to you guys while zooomr is down has made the upgrade much more bearable. Plus, it's been amazing to watch the community in action. It would be great if you guys could keep the chats semi-regular. Good luck! Hey guys, thanks so much for the UStream (even with the problems).
