File under “Yet another photo sharing site”
I came across this site called Zooomr. At first I thought it was going to be another cool flickr plug-in type service. But no.

First of all, the name…really? Don’t you think it sounds just a little like some other well known brand?
Secondly the Logo….

Come on, are you kidding me…? “Ooo, lets colour the ‘r’ a different colour from the rest of the text..that’s like totally original”

And my personal favorite, the tag line…
“Universally the best way to share, search, store and sort your photos online.”

What they meant to say was…
“Like flickr, only less well designed and with in your face advertising”

(there’s nothing quite like a google banner ad for “sexy singles” alongside a picture of grandma and grandpa - and Im not joking - that’s what came up as I was browsing)

Move along, Nothing to see here.

Well, ok in fairness, they do offer geo-tagging and sound and a few other novelty features. But, seriously though?
