And this marketing strategy is different from PayPerPost how, exactly? OH yeah, here the blogger is paid in stuff, not money - eh - so this is cool, but PPP is evil? ;-)

Swapping stuff for (the hope of) press endorsements is nothing new - I'm not saying that it's right or wrong - just that PayPerPost is not the devil-incarnate the blogsream painted them out to be. Let's face it, a-list bloggers' homes are full of the latest gizmo's - and so, their blogs discuss those toys - very few have scoble's maturity to call this what it is.

Bloggers (in the US?) who do take Zoomr up on this offer, please note that you'll need to pay income tax on the price of your free Zoomr account so be sure that it's something you'll use - nothing is free.

Hey Peter, love your blog!

Just thought I'd mention that I signed up for the zooomr thing yesterday and there were about 100 comments so far. Today 325 :-)

Not a bad investment on their part,

Cheers,

Karl

Nice move from Zooomr, but I think it is too late to do such move. And I think it is not the best way to get people to Zooomr you need add more blogger services because that is the think what bloggers need to start using Zoomr

Well, this offer is no good for me, or for many others, simply because you cannot sign up!!

Perhaps the site o.p. coul;d do sopmehting about that?

Woops that came out wrong. Its late for me. (12.30 am) I as trying to reiterate your point. They do need to look outside of bloggers.

Pete I think you're looking the wrong way through the looking glass.

There are alot of people looking at zooomr, not as an alternative to Flickr, but as a complementary service.

Another point I have to make is there seems to be alot of emphasis on the blogging community, perhaps these products need to look at a much larger market that is waiting to be taken. There's a wide audience out there for the photo market, and its only getting bigger. Perhaps, just perhaps, we need to look outside of the blogger market.

Hi Kristopher and Thomas,

Well the truth is that most MySpacers don't use their blogs, and certainly not to post photos (that's usually done on profile pages). Zooomr isn't set up to appeal to that demographic anyway, since you've already defined your audience (consciously or otherwise) as early adopters who want an alternative to Flickr. What I'm questioning is whether that audience is large enough to be significant.

Yep, MySpace Bloggers come on over.

Hi, thanks for mentioning Zooomr!

Though, who says that mySpacers can't use Zooomr? Most mySpace people have blogs now, and they are included in our offer to all bloggers.
