Well I’m pleased to announce that Kristopher just added the final touches on what has probably been our most requested feature on Zooomr. Zooomr Social Stream represents a new way for you to follow the activity on your photographs on Zooomr. With Zooomr Social Stream you can sort the activity on your photos by the last day, week or month and have several different views to choose to view your activity from including a list view and a timeline view.

By tracking the activity on your photos Zooomr will allow you to better monitor your photos and interact with your contacts.

But…

This is just the beginning for Social Stream. With Social Stream Zooomr is taking the first step towards our larger vision of becoming a real-time communications platform. Certainly photos are a big part of that but watch for even bigger developments coming from Social Stream. Combined with Zipline, Social Stream allows you to put your finger on the pulse of what is happening with your photos as well as what your friends and family are up to.

Zooomr Social Stream is a Pro only feature, so if you haven’t upgraded to Pro yet on Zooomr here’s one more reason why you may want to. Plus you really, really, really help us out when you go Pro and we appreciate it immensely and it allows Kristopher to continue developing on Zooomr.

Prophead did a nice write up on how to order Moo cards from your Zooomr stream here.

Thanks Prophead!

Come on out and join us for a night exploring graffiti art and graffiti photography next Friday night, October 5th in Oakland.

The evening will start out with a free showing of the one hour documentary Piece by Piece in the garden at the Oakland Museum of California. There is also some great art to shoot there in that garden as well. Arrive early to shoot the art and get a good lawn seat for the film.

More on the film from it’s website:

“Take a journey into San Francisco’s mysterious graffiti underground. Witness the birth of the movement as told by the people that lived it. Piece by Piece puts you alongside the graffiti writers, police, and local San Franciscans affected by this misunderstood art form. Documenting the last 20 years of creation and destruction, you’ll hear the stories and adventures depicting this elaborate movement for the first time in history.”

There will be a Q&A after the film.

Once the Q&A is done we will head out from there to shoot some graffiti sites in Oakland. Bring your camera, tripod, flashlight, colored gels, and whatever else you’d like to bring for photographing graffiti at night. Photowalks are for everyone so even if you don’t have a SLR feel free to come out and hang out for a night dedicated to graffiti as art and photographing graffiti.

Zooomr friend Dave Sifry is organizing a Photowalk this Saturday in New York City if you happen to live in or be in the Big Apple.

From Dave:

Come join me and a bunch of folks who are getting together this Saturday for a photowalk across the Brookyn Bridge from Brooklyn into Manhattan, and the continued with lunch, and a stroll around the lower east side. Saturday looks to be a beautiful day (current forecast says Sunny, Highs of 75 degrees) so I’m sure we’ll have a great time and get lots of great photos.

Details (including RSVP): http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/269765

Where: We’re meeting at the walkway entrance is next to the Federal Court Building in Brooklyn. There are stairs on Cadman Plaza East and Prospect Street or a ramp entrance on Johnson and Adams Streets. You can get there by subway: take the A train to High Street. Give me a call at 415 846-0232 if you’re lost or are wandering around.

When: 10AM on Satuday September 29th. We’ll grab some lunch afterwards when we get to the Manhattan side, so all in all the walk will probably end around 2PM.

What to bring: Bring yourself, and whatever you like to record the moment - camera, video camera, or your friendly instamatic! All experience levels are a-ok, from beginner to expert pro.
