prophead: what I mean is that the site as it is here and now is close...to what it could/should be 2 years ago [Web]
Dawson: Like I said, lets not say no funds, until we see some financial reports, I wonder. 2 years ago [Web]
Fogview: @prophead, They may be close but without communication, how do we know? I support Zooomr and want to believe but "This is no way to run an airlines" 2 years ago [Web]
prophead: man, they're sooo close. seems like a bad loop, cant fix bug because no funding, no funding, because of bugs... 2 years ago [Web]
Fogview: I will stick around until January before I decide to head back to Flickr. Zooomr "could" be a great site if they showed they cared about their users. 2 years ago [Web]
Fogview: I've been pushing for open communication from TH and Kris for months. November was for bug fixing but I can't tell that much has been fixed. 2 years ago [Web]

Carlos: if you are all ok with it I'd like to put this to TH and KT in case they did not follow it. only through these dialogues they can see better 2 years ago [Web]
Dawson: Well I will always talk to you, and I'm sure others will, because the things everyone complains about, is a major issue that needs fixed. 2 years ago [Web]
Trevor Carpenter: I'm not sure if I want to protest. I rose a stink weeks ago, and it took days before anyone talked to me again. 2 years ago [Web]
Dawson: @Trevor Maybe Zooomr needs to be protested against, it seems though by created huge threads don't work. 2 years ago [Web]
Celine C: As am I. Gonna focus on the good stuff -- photos & people. The rest will do whatever it will. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Trevor Carpenter: Sorry for the lack in clarity. I'm done with my Zooomr bashing. 2 years ago [Web]
bye: @Jonathan: looking at the group stats I 'd estimate maybe 1000, prob. 250 paying, sums up to 2500 Euros a year. Huge sum to run a professional service 2 years ago [Web]

Jono Brennan: I'll still be sticking around here for a while - maybe just not uploading as many photos (even if I could) 2 years ago [Web]
slowdncr: Geez, doesn't anybody post or comment about photos around here anymore. Enough griping about the site, eh. 2 years ago [Web]
Jono Brennan: The whole marketplace stuff was supposed to be a revenue generator but seems to have been left on the back burner - bigger fish to fry? 2 years ago [Web]
Dawson: @Trevor Same with Karen and a lot others... and that hasn't been fixed. That is actually a new issue. There is more problems than solutions. 2 years ago [Web]

Trevor Carpenter: Oh, and BTW, my avatar still hasn't updated. It's still blank. 2 years ago [Web]
Celine C: I don't understand what you mean, anlan. What BS? 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Dawson: But is all the advertising money and PRO account money really all that going to developing Zooomr? 2 years ago [Web]
bye: Holy moly what a sentimental bullshit. The curse of evangalisation I guess ;-))) What about casting some votes in that great community? 2 years ago [Web]
graffiti: some small time bugs need to be ironed out too - like thumbnails not appearing, sometimes uploading is an issue, juploader times out :( 2 years ago [Web]
graffiti: im new to zooomr & love it, am evaluating it though but i see way too many 404 errors. there's an urgent need stability. 2 years ago [Web]
Dawson: Go Trevor! 2 years ago [Web]
Trevor Carpenter: That's it, Japan is the mistriss. The whore. We're left here, home with Kristopher's kids. 2 years ago [Web]
Celine C: I'm not asking for miracles, & I know Zooomr needs financial backing, which I totally support. Just throw us a bone. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Gary H: wow, long discussion, great dialog. We all love Zooomr. Zooomr doesn't seem to love us anymore. Zooomr found a more hip love in Japan. :-( 2 years ago [Web]
Wolfman-K: I don't know about transparency but, regular communication and support to keep existing features working sure isn't asking too much. 2 years ago [Web]
Celine C: The community is awesome, as are the photos. I love that aspect. But transparency isn't asking too much, is it? 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Wolfman-K: I don't think that is going to change, but I agree the core users need to be supported and kept in the loop. :( 2 years ago [Web]
Jonathan Ward: the business plan that we were told was marketplace revenues and averts on non-pro accounts....it's one thing doing what's needed, it's another not te 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Wolfman-K: I just joined and I picked Zooomr over smug mug and flickr because of the community of people that appreciate the art of photography. 2 years ago [Web]
Celine C: Anlan, I understand the financial need, & I don't dispute it. What I am asking for is information from Kris as to what's going on on this end. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
bye: Celine Zooomr is a company, at least a wanna be company, not a kindergarten. The only way to get money is to go iMode in Japan, bec. web is for free 2 years ago [Web]
Jonathan Ward: ...so now many are leaving because whilst it's free, they provided support and then have felt left behind as unimportant without being told of the pla 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Jonathan Ward: ...it was never apparent at that time that the site would go to japanese mobiles, it was supposed to be for the core users and that's why it got so mu 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Jonathan Ward: @anlan there were a lot of people who provided a lot of support, financial, verbal, whatever, to zooomr as it went trhu upgrades.... 2 years ago [Zipfox]
bye: Turn Zooomr into a "mature" company and charge 50$ a year works with some hundred thousand subscribers. Go figure ... 2 years ago [Web]
Celine C: anlan, because we were here first? Isn't Zooomr a photo sharing site? When folks have trouble uploading photos, etc., that kinda negates the idea. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Dawson: @anlan The reason the web Zooomr needs fixed is because more people use it, and people need a good first impression. 2 years ago [Web]
bye: Why should he fix the web stuff first, if it's for free? Even the pro accounts are basically for free. Imode subscribers have to pay in any way ... 2 years ago [Web]
Celine C: I just want to know what's going on. TH can only do so much, it's Kristopher we need to hear from. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
TravelingRoths: You've got to serve your revenue source first, or everything else becomes a moo point. You can't ignore the rest either, and that's the huge challenge 2 years ago [Web]
Dawson: Well the mobile version is only for Japan, and the web version is used WAY more, so that should be a priority. Fix the most used things first. 2 years ago [Web]
Celine C: I think Kris' employees work on the Japan mobile stuff, and not on the rest of the stuff. I could be wrong. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
MaltPhoto: @dawson: not sure. But I keep seeing Thomas make reference to the fact that Kris is only one person. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
MaltPhoto: I'm not opposed to a two man company either, but I think there's just too much work to be done at this point., too many areas that need attention. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Dawson: I thought Kris had employees? It sometimes seems he doesn't... because things take long to get fixed, or updates come very seldom for a beta website. 2 years ago [Web]
Carlos: I'm not against a 2man company but it is a fact that it is not coping well at the moment and some modifications are required up there 2 years ago [Web]
Carlos: regardless of the lacks, we DO need TO KNOW soon what we will have in the near future and have a more transparent management of the site 2 years ago [Web]
Dawson: @Celine Thats why I love Zooomr, because my photos get so many views and faves very fast. Flickr takes days sometimes. 2 years ago [Web]
Jonathan Ward: it makes you think whether a comunity (like zooomr's) could set up a site by themselves in a co-op? 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Jonathan Ward: i have to agree that the community feels right on here. somehow local, and the types of photographers here. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
MaltPhoto: What they've done in Japan, needs to happen in the US. Japan will have it's own priorities, but they need to leverage that for non-japan markets. 2 years ago [Web]
MaltPhoto: The funny thing is, I just recently came back after being ticked off after the upgrade. I think this needs to be more than a 2 man operation. 2 years ago [Web]
Trevor Carpenter: For the few that are interested in a Zipline like app, for use with Flickr, look at http://photophlow.com 2 years ago [Web]
Trevor Carpenter: What's weird is that months ago I secretly wanted to be an official Zooomr Evangelist. I wished I could convince TH to consider me...if the time came. 2 years ago [Web]
Trevor Carpenter: I too am hanging around for the community. Without Zipline, I'd have left weeks ago. 2 years ago [Web]
Celine C: I just would like to know what's going on, what's being worked on in the non-mobile market. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Trevor Carpenter: Hey TH! Noticing a common thread? 2 years ago [Web]
Celine C: I hate playing the Flickr game, having to submit photos to groups. With Zooomr & Zipline, I know my photos will be viewed. That's important to me. 2 years ago [Zipfox]
peppeg: i feel the same, some people here are important to me, some pics too... but i'm not in love with zooomr :'( exif, photo pool, upload, profile... 2 years ago [Web]
sfmike22: It struck me the other; day using Zooomr feels like sipping coffee in your neighborhood cafe. Flickr feels like walking the aisles at Costco... 2 years ago [Web]
Carlos: loose the great community that has been created and supporting them so far. I honestly hope they can do the former 2 years ago [Web]
Carlos: my humble opinion is that zooomr has reached a critical point in its e-life in which they have to consolidate as a mature/responsable company or...... 2 years ago [Web]
henrikj: Russel and Jonathan: my thoughts exactl 2 years ago [Web]
Jonathan Ward: it's a lot about only promising what you will or can deliver, and quickly. people would be less frustrated if they had only promised small things... 2 years ago [Zipfox]
Russ G: Think we are all agreeing...We love the community that has built up, just get frustrated at the basics failing sometimes and slow progress 2 years ago [Zipfox]
persnicketydame: I also love the community. I do find myself frustrated with the little things though. No user icon suddenly or having reattach tags. 2 years ago [Web]
bye: You're right Jonathan, for the very same reason I am not pro .... as for verbal updates, the US hasn't really a 3G infrastructure & in EU it's B2B. 2 years ago [Web]
Carlos: I've always defended this place and would hate to see it go down hill. hope the CEO notices that there is a vacuum in the ranks... 2 years ago [Web]

Duck Brown: The main thing keeping me here at this point is the people. 2 years ago [Web]
TravelingRoths: The upload problems are my biggest beef. My geotag data goes only sometimes, and camera info never. . . when the uploads are working at all. 2 years ago [Web]
Chris Moewes: Group pools,profile editing,these are critical (imho) to a social site.But worse yet is all the issues around exif/iptc tags and failed uploads 2 years ago [Web]
Chris Moewes: I am finding myself also in the loveloss camp.Despite trying to be active in groups and posting,it feels like basic things aren't getting done 2 years ago [Web]
TravelingRoths: André: Kris took off for Japan months ago, to conquer that market, and that's cool, but the rest of us are left "in the dark". Just keep us informed. 2 years ago [Web]
