Zoom.it, a Brand New Way of Sharing Hi-Resolution Images!

[sujay]

Visit http://zoom.it/

This service allows us to share image files in a way we never did before. To be more precise, it allows easier and better sharing of images with particularly high resolution details. Since we want as much viewers visiting our websites and blogs as possible, it is only natural that we don't want viewers complaining about viewing large-size images that takes forever to load completely, nor did we want these large images going to waste by scaling it down to fit our webpage space. So long as Silverlight is available on one's PC, then using Zoom.it can solve these two problems for both you and your viewers!

Zoom.it is very easy to use right out of the box: to use it, we visit the service website and insert the URL of the images we want, wait for Zoom.it to process the image and voila, a Silverlight-powered image is ready for use!

You say it as if it's a bad thing I frown on it...

For the most part, I stay away from it because I see no point to it, and the fact that MoonLight, the Linux version, is rather... unstable, shall we say?

But I'll be avoiding it mostly due to the fact that I don't have or want it installed. I'll certainly test it though (the parent's computer has it)... see if there's finally something worth it for Silverlight.

Not bad. A project of Microsoft Live Labs and a good alternative to a kick-ass Cooliris ( both available plugin for IE and FF )

Cooliris has many more features... exactly what does Silverlight enhance? seems to work fine without it

Silverlight is just another Flash like plugin. All MS owned website has this stuff embedded and it's for enhancing the multimedia experience.

( See Quicktime plugins by Apple. )
