Zooomr…later rather than soonr

Well is appears that Zooomr has encountered some bumps in the road in travelling to their 2.0 upgrade. It sucks that it appears that most of their problems (at least as they report them) appear to be DoS attacks. If it is truly Dos related, who initiated the attacks? I find it hard to believe that a competitor in the photo sharing market would be directly responsible. What I wouldn’t find hard to believe is that is could be a cooridinated effort for the users of a competitor’s photo sharing service. It’s all speculation, but the internet is mostly about guessing and gossip these days (or so it appears) so that’s just my guess.

    Hey, thanks for the post. Talk about a depressing non launch. We do hope to be up tomorrow though and really appreciate your patience.

    We have no idea who is/was behind the attack. It was done with zombie Windows PCs with spoofed IP addresses.

    Here’s an update from our Zooomr blog:
