Just Launched New Languages: 9 in Total!

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

Hey Friends, a lot of hard work has gone into our localizations from people from all around the world. Today, we’ve launched even more languages in the hopes that more people will help us unite the world.

If you happen to speak English and another language really well, be sure to checkout the Zooomr Localization Google Group and help us unite the world!

With love and respect,

NEVER QUIT — 72HRS STRONG

Hey Friends, if there’s one thing that’s been proven over the last 72 hours — it’s been how awesome you guys are! :)

Thomas and I are proud to be connected to such an awesome group of people. We’re pretty tired over here, but the message is clear: NEVER QUIT — STAY STRONG.

One of our users made this awesome UStream mash-up so you can watch both Thomas and myself LIVE: Check it out here

Lauching Zooomr Mark III

Monday, May 21st, 2007

Zooomr is off line right now while we make the transition from Zooomr V2 to Zooomr Mark III. We think it’s probably 12-24 hours until launch. Thanks for all your support! If you want to watch the launch live, you can do it here at UStream.

We’ve also set up a Pay Pal donate thing if people want to donate to help Zooomr.

Thanks all and see you in Mark III.

We Hear You China and Taiwan! This Post is For You!

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

Hey Friends! I’m really excited to be launching two new Zooomr Properties today — Zooomr Blog China (中文博客) and Zooomr Blog Taiwan (台湾博客)! These new blogs will be driven by our users in the region and have our blessing to talk about what’s important to our users and communities who reside in Asia and the Pacific Rim.

In October of last year, we launched Zooomr Taiwan and re-launched Zooomr China in Traditional and Simplified Chinese, respectively. The response was HUGE — and even this is an understatement of how successful we’ve been in Asia as a whole.

So, I’m happy to say that both Gem and Kingler have stepped up to the mark and will be the starting force behind these new blogs. I also want to send a special thank-you to 72Pines (七十二松) for their kind contribution in hosting these blogs regionally. :)

I would also like to start hosting blogs for our users in Japan, Korea, Germany and the Netherlands, among many more blogs! :)

We hear you guys and want to keep everyone in the loop. I especially feel bad for not being able to speak all of your wonderful languages — I only humbly speak English and Japanese for now, so please help me in extending the spirit of Zooomr out to your respective communities.

With continued love and respect,

-kristopher

Zooomr Mark III: What Happened

Monday, April 9th, 2007

Hey Friends, I’m back from Japan and on my way back to San Francisco! Many of you have wondered why the Zooomr Mark III Release has been delayed and it simply has to do with a 3rd Party Storage Provider being too slow for our liking and ultimately its sluggish response times. The extra time has been spent scaling our in-house infrastructure and recoding ZM3 to use our in-house storage engine, the “ZMD”. :)

Anyhoo, I’m on my way back to San Francisco right now and will continue to update you as it comes. Please remember that we have introduced UNLIMITED Upload, Archival and storage for your photos — forever! We believe in you guys.

With continued love and respect,

-Kristopher
