If you delete a photo the original and resizes still reside on their servers and are still accessable via a direct link. The images just don't show in your album any longer. So you can never really remove one of your photos from the site.

Very cool, and works better than Zooomr's Lightmap feature. Flickr's got nothing to worry about. Now, if only they'd roll it into the app itself :-) Boris – I’ve been playing with that.

I like some of their interface features-- the shortcuts in the lightbox view, for instance-- while others seem obscured. But I'm also a huge flickr fan and it's easy (too easy) for me to think that something which isn't where flickr would put it must be in the wrong place :)</p><p>I do like the fact that Zooomr has no problem with drawing and screenshots and I might end up using it just for that! <br /></p> I'm trying Zooomr too… the geo-tagging and the "pictures close to this one" are fascinating and already lead me to interesting discoveries.

I do like the fact that Zooomr has no problem with drawing and screenshots and I might end up using it just for that!

Oops! And I can't get past the interface. It's just sooooo clunky. Flickr's spent a lot of time/effort (or had a LOT of luck, or both) in getting things just right. Should be interesting when the Flickr development embargo is lifted after the scalability rebuild is done...
