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!
Friends, thank-you for your support and warm birthday wishes. Your letters and kindness really made my day. I’ve made a video response embedded below — when you have a moment, please watch it.
Hi friends, there has been a bit of bumpiness on Zooomr recently. This is mostly due to a failure on our part to communicate that we were actually upgrading most of our core infrastructure — but now that is officially over, let’s start to enjoy life on Zooomr again!
This also means that we can get back to building new features and improving the software side of the service.
Friends, we’ve worked hard to get Zooomr 2008 up an running — now, let’s go take a small break and celebrate with a photowalk in Yokohama, Japan!
One of our local community orginizers, Chidorian-san, has put together a really awesome course for us to walk. Please take a look at the below map for a better idea of the walk:
Back when I was just getting things setup here in Japan, I ran into an awesome person by the name of Ms. Fumi Yamazaki who kindly decided to take a moment and interview me on our direction here.
Today, I was going through my news feeds and saw that she had posted the video we took in late October 2007.
Inside the video, we discuss my passion for helping people communicate, as well as touching on some of reasons why I feel Zooomr will do relatively well in Japan and around the world.
Friends, Only three more hours to go! How are you holding up?? Are you excited? We are!
I’m hanging out with Kunix — we’re doing the last checks now; when we have about 30-60 minutes to go before launch, we’ll go live on Zooomr TV and start a countdown!
Friends, we’re coming up on a mere 11 hours to go! I wanted to show you another video on one of Zooomr 2008’s new features that let’s you create GeoZips instead of regular Zips on Zipline. The Video is below.
