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."

    Competition is nice, but innovation is far more impressive.

  2. 17 year old creates internet bubble 2.0 webpage! by rm999 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This reminds me so much of the internet landscape from 7-8 years ago. Add a 2.0 to the end of the internet, and people forget all the hard lessons they should have learned from before.

    My main complaint, a similar complaint from the first bubble, is a huge waterfall of sites that implement only a few unique ideas. Back then it was internet stores and advertising, today it is tagging, blogs, and letting the user interact with the website.
