Talk about zooomr love.
Nice review, the only problem is that, now, I can’t wait for mark3 to get in the wild.
Gotta spread the word when you stumble on a good thing!

Really a great review, Raoul.
I always wanted to write something like this for Zooomr but it is the best one I have come across about Zooomr.
It is really a great service and has a very bright future.
Kepp up the good work. Your photographs over Zooomr are also fabulous.
Happy holidays.
Thanks, Nitesh and L.P.!
Awesome review. And so true, every word.
I just started with zooomr a month ago, but I’m loving it.
To everyone, I also recommend to go check out Raoul’s (Raoul Pop) favorites. You have picked a lot great photos. Even few of mine, thanks…
Thanks, Mikko!
Here’s a link to my favorites for those interested. Mikko (Chupito) has some great photos from Spain!
Speaking about “geotagging”: do you know locr?
locr offers the ideal solution and makes geotagging exceptionally easy. locr uses GoogleMaps with detailed maps and high-resolution satellite images. To geotag your photos just enter address, let locr search, fine-tune the marker, accept position, and done! If you don’t know the exact address simply use drag&drop to set the position.
For automatic geotagging you need a datalog GPS receiver in additon to your digital camera. The GPS receiver data and the digital camera data is then automatically linked together by the locr software. All information will be written into the EXIF header.
Use the “Show in Google Earth” button to view your photos in Google Earth.
With locr you can upload photos with GPS information in them without any further settings. In the standard view, locr shows the photo itself, plus the place it was taken. If you want to know more about the place where the photo was taken, just have at look at the Wikipedia articles which are also automatically assigned to the picture.
Have a look at http://www.locr.com.

well zooomr needs to add preciously needed features.
The first one that comes to my mind is the ability to let users upload an entire folder of pictures instead of uploading pictures one by one.
