Zooomr: yet another photo-sharing service

Perhaps I shouldn't get excited over new web 2.0 services, since as Asheesh points out they're proprietary and you have no control over them. That said, if you're using web services like Flickr, it's good to have accounts on competing services so that if they suddenly turn evil for some reason you can switch to someone else without too much trouble.

In that spirit, I'm trying out this Flickr clone, Zooomr, which is apparently giving out pro accounts to people who blog about it in an attempt to boost their userbase. I guess it worked for me ^_^

One thing that's cool about Zooomr is that you don't even need to sign up to get a free account... if you have a Livejournal account or a Google account, you already have a sign-in for Zooomr. I wish more services would use OpenID or something like it (I'm told OpenID has its flaws), it's fun and easy ^_^
