It’s 3:45 my time and photo sharing site Zooomr is about to launch a new version of their service. How are they doing it? With a live video chat on UStream! This is a model of transparency for the future. If you come by in time, they are responding to the text chat going on at their UStream page. They’ve also recorded a short video about the new features they are adding.

These guys work hard to build relationships with their users all around the world. They are doing a lot of things that I really admire.

An interface available in more than 15 languages, free pro-accounts for bloggers who write about them, rapid feature development – the list goes on and on. Way to go, guys.

I had the UStream player in question embedded here, but it was leaking audio when my pages loaded.
