    Does it also allow for high fast transfer of spam to our message boards?

    It's of course your opinion how to review this post: as spam or not...

    Other peoples who try this - says "great job!".

    So if you think that it's not interesting for board's members - you can just remove this thread.

    It's ok, Sean
    Photography-related press releases are perfectly appropriate for this message board. Usually I post them, but I don't mind if other people post them. This is one of the reasons I created this forum. It gives manufacturers a place to share their new products.

    Well okay then. I just hate on any forum when you see someone plugging ANYTHING, legit or not, and it says "post count: 1"

    at least give me some foreplay, you know?

    I understand
    Just consider this forum the exception. I actually want manufacturers to post here. Ad they'd e-mailed in the past week and I hadn't posted the press release myself. They just took the intiative and did what I would have done, anyway.

    Have you looked at the ZoOom Web site? It's actually very cool technology. I'm not sure what the application is for photographers. I see it as mostly applicable for stock photography services. But it's very impressive. I encourage people to visit their site and try it out. It's worth seeing.

    Can't say that our zo0om is big innovation...

    May be you hear about http://www.zoomify.com and his product Zoomify. Some time ago we get request for develop something similar, but without using of Flash, because some big companies is not allow to users using any plug-ins/ActiveX for browsers.

    Actually we make Flash viewer very quickly, but only after JavaScript version. Biggest troubles was make really cross-browser JS code (programmers can agree). You can see supported browsers in my first post and can try following link with your browsers:

    Mainly it can be interesting for everyone who's interested to show details on the shot. Second - zo0om can be used as some copyrights protection as well (it of course possible to get source image, but not simple) and aslo can be covered with any skin.
