I remember reading somewhere that Zooomer uses (or used and some even go to the extent of debating it is just a matter of copying.) Flickr APIs. And additionally there was some talk from Flickr as not to share APIs with direct competitors. In my view healthy competition always makes things better for the end user !!!

It's ugly and it's slow as heck. I spent half an hour exploring it, got frustrated and left. If they get a faster server and offer free unlimited hosting for a while, maybe it might catch on, but not as it stands now.

Don't you have to posit the flickr will fail for this to hold? You argument is that zooomr is the same as flickr and therefore it will fail.

The language thing? OK, so there are different front pages? Doesn't seem to be stopping Flickr anyway. See <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/%E3%81%99/" rel="nofollow">this.</a> Geotagging? Some are already geotagging in Flickr using their own folksonomy. OK, so no integrated Googlemaps. How long will it be before they integrate the new Yahoo maps? I don’t really get zooomer either.

Zooomr has that fluid ability to adapt and add features that Flickr used to have. There are some obvious similarities, but they're disappearing every day as new features are launched and old bugs get ironed out. And of course Zooomr is multi-lingual, which is sorely missed in Flcikr, not everyone speaks english. Heres the thing, unless Flickr keeps innovating, they’re gonna be passed up.

As for the name, yeah it's a lot like Flickr but I guess Zooomr wanted to give peoeple something easy to comprehend and btw zooomr is more related to photos tha flickr (going by the name)! As for the layout, I completely disagree, Zooomr has a beautiful layoutr which I have blogged as one of it's plus points. Geotagging: No comments, I don't use it!! My bottomline: You just don't provide enough reasons as to why Zooomr sucks or so! Cheers! fair enough, you raise some good points but the link to slashdot and thomashawk don’t work.
