Back from the SFWIN event yesterday evening, I can tell a little bit more about zoomr today. Techcrunch talked about this (yet another) photo sharing site a month ago. Since then, zoomr introduced new features that are worth talking about.
First, it is now localized, meaning that it is available in 14 languages (including in French). Of course, it makes it way easier to have users from all over the planet. it also means that in some countries like in France where there is no similar product, zooomr can answer a growing user need.
Second, Kristopher Tate, the main developper, introduced Smart Sets, which are the equivalent of our Smart Albums in pikeo. What is really cool to me (but I haven't tested it yet) is the fact that, providing you tagged your pictures, you just type in a phrase like (An album of the ski season in 2005) and it will recognize the tags inside of the phrase and create the album based on those.
Finally, details like the Light box which allow you to see a large size of the picture without leaving the thumbnails page, or the integrated maps (that we also have in pikeo) are also pretty good.
Overall, I think it's a pretty good photo-sharing site even though it is really slow those days! Oh, and I also think that the name, with the three "o" make people often end up at zoomr.com, which is not that good!
