17 Year Old Creates Flickr Competitor

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the any-kid-in-a-garage dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Michael Arrington over at TechCrunch has an article up on a new Flickr competitor called Zooomr. The interesting thing about all of this that it was developed in only three months by a 17 year old and to top it all off, the site is currently localized in 16 languages."

    At this risk of completely blowing up his server, here is a testing version of his site: http://beta.zooomr.com/

      Actually beta.zooomr.com IS the site. Zooomr.com has just always redirected there.

      Take off every sig. For great justice.

    Imageshack doesn't use the annoying sign up forms.

    If you need to show something fast and don't want the hassle then Imageshack is it.

    I use it all the time. Fast and covenient.

    Did Google open up some kind of authentication API while I was sleeping?

    It looks like it's entirely bogus - you enter your gmail account and it emails you a password each time you want to access the site. You recover the password, enter it on the site, and that's your logon. Not really sure what it has to do with gmail, as the same mechanism could apply to any email address.

    Sounds pretty bogus.

    I started BlueBridge Technologies Group close to 5 years ago. The name comes from the blue underbelly of the Coronado Bridge in San Diego, California.

    I'm working at Meetro right now so that I have a chance at living in the Bay Area. That aside, Zooomr is a solution of BlueBridge Technologies Group and is in the midst of becoming incorporated.

    Just so I can get this in without having to post multiple times, I am in-fact 17 years old.
