Time will tell if that same community feel stays if/when Zooomr gets larger. Flickr does seem to attract quite a lot of spammy comments.

Part of it is because it is still quite small, part because Kris keeps it personal via the blog, partly because I've never ever seen any spam on Zooomr. Something that has pissed me off with flickr before. I concur about the community feel.

Seems an interesting option, I'll certainly give it ago. Zooomr to me though has just a really nice community feel to it - can't tell yet if Twango has that or not. I guess it makes sense though having one site for lots of different media, but I still quite like having youtube for video, zooomr (or flickr I guess!) for photos, countless sites for music, and well - my hard drive for zips and pdfs. Yeah, that last one needs some work, maybe I do have room for Twango in my life ;) I hadn’t even heard of it, truth be told. Seems an interesting option, I’ll certainly give it ago.

Also still in beta, I LOVE this file sharing site because it supports hundreds of file types so you can post photos, videos, Word docs, .zip, PDFs, you name it. It supports file sharing and commenting and folks don't have to be members to comment. Best, viewers can download photos (if okay with owner). Great tools for uploading files to site (bulk upload tool allows drag/drop and resize on the fly), including emailing directly to different "channels" you set up or straight from your cellphone. And the free "Twigits" that make it easy to put Flash or Java photo feeds into blogs are being added all the time. Your videos are automatically made Podcastable - sweet. It supports hand sorting of photos... I've been using it a couple of months to share all kinds of stuff, on both private and public channels, and love it.
