Web2.0 Awards Honorable Mention for Zenphoto!

April 5th 2006

For some reason, zenphoto got an honorable mention in this year’s Web 2.0 awards! I was quite surprised to find that email in-between the spam in my Hotmail account.

We got the award for the “Photos & Digital Imaging” category, in the shadows of such greats as Flickr and, well, Flickr. Hopefully people see the value in an open-source self-hosted alternative to the big guy, so we’ll keep working on making it even more than that (seriously, we’re working on it for real now ).

And of course, the best part is that we get to show this:

While we’re still on the subject, we have a release coming tomorrow. Lots of bugfixes and security patches. Make sure to check it out. Update: tomorrow’s release delayed until tomorrow (today). It’s all set, just need to do the site changes and I’m out of time. Thanks for your patience.

“For some reason”? You make it sound undeserved! Congratulations… and give yourself a bit more credit, zenphoto is an incredible piece of software.
Matthijs Commented at 10:12 am on April 6th 2006

Congretulations. Well deserved, good work! Can’t wait for tomorrow.
Tristan Commented at 12:21 pm on April 6th 2006

Thanks everyone! The reason I thought it was undeserved is that I don’t think it qualifies entirely as Web2.0 software I think we have to put some kind of collaboration or something in for it to qualify.

Aside from that, sure it’s award-worthy!

Haha nice work mate!

Congratulations. I’ll consider moving from Flickr Gallery to Zenphoto when I get some more space on my server.
Tinus Commented at 11:27 am on April 7th 2006

Ha! Web 2.0 and you still use Hotmail?
Tristan Commented at 2:21 pm on April 7th 2006

Yeah! It’s the best solution I’ve found for spam! It’s not annoying when you expect it.
Joen Commented at 10:36 am on April 8th 2006

Congrats! I’m proud to have helped you out with this.
