Zooomr needs some lovin'

Technology Photography InternetZooomr: It's the next big photo-sharing site. I've been registered over there for over a year. And since then it's been snowballing into something of a killer site. Sure, there's not an Aperture plugin (yet!). Finally after over a week of hard work, today saw the launch of Mark III. During the 10 or so minutes that Mark III was up and running, I was blown away (and for the record, there's an API to help developers create said Aperture plugins coming with this release). Unfortunately, the database servers crashed, as I post, the folks behind it are scrambling to a datacentre to fix the issue.
Zooomr is just two people wanting to create something brilliant. But it's more than that. It's an entire community, and one that, once Mark III goes live, I'll be involving myself in. Mark III, whilst it works, is not coming back from the ether, however, until there's more funding and the all important servers to help ensure an app such as Zooomr Mk III can run just great.

Robert Scoble is calling for people to support Zooomr on his blog, and I'd urge you to spread the word. Zooomr Mark III was, and still is awesome. Let's hope it's not too long before we get to see it again.
Lots of companies claim to care about startups. Here’s a chance to help one.
Quite why Zooomr, unlike Photobucket, Flickr etc, has not had more funding, or been snatched up is frankly beyond me.
