Third Thing: Lots of Love

Every day, I feel lucky to have such great conversations with everyone on Zooomr. I am often surprised and moved by the generosity of our users and so it goes without saying that I am very appreciative. Thank-you for making Zooomr into one of the best places on the Internet.

Also, I’ve been mentioned lately in a few major publications in Japan and wanted to share some of that with you.

With that, I’ll try to blog more daily and post more videos about what we’re doing. Things are starting to stabilize, which means that I can spend more time again in constant communication!

With love,

I gave our good friend Tajee a roll of Zooomr stickers before she left for Japan and it looks like they’ve been put to good use! Check-out the video by moto-san! Thanks, Tajee!

Friends! It seems like there’s a lot of retroactive videos from people who have interviewed me — this one is from the folks over at Travelistic taken during CES 2007. It also includes some footage of the Seagate Sponsored PodTech BlogHaus. Please watch it and enjoy.

Thanks to Jeremiah Owyang for reminding me about this video

Hey friends, the awesome folks over at Sun’s Developer Net (SDN) were kind enough to invite me over to Sun to profile my journey in building Zooomr. The segment also covers some small bits about Mark III and is around 8 minutes long. It can be viewed at the following link:

CNET has a nice write up out on Portals at Zooomr here. To see how Rafe Needleman used Portals to share a tour of CNET, click on this photo and then follow his tour of portals.

Here’s another example of a portal from my photo shoot with Robert Scoble last night. Just hover over Robert and then click and zooom through to the next photo to get a sense of how portals work.

Do you have an interesting portal? Leave a link in the comments of this post so we can check them out.

Tom Raftery interviewed me for the PodLeaders podcast show. We talk about my photography but also a lot about the cool new things that Zooomr is going to be doing. Tom’s a great guy who has intereviewed a whole host of some great tech leaders and technologists over the past few years. You can listen to and download the podcast here.

I was interviewed on Zooomr for the podcast G’Day World earlier this afternoon. We talk about Zooomr, our future plans, our future and current features and the need for open portability and exchange for user’s photos and data. A fun interview from a great podcast and show.
