The community had rallied around zooomr and managed to raise over $1500 during zooomr’s time of need. Hardware vendors like Sun and Dell stepped up to the plate too. Dell fixed the failing pieces of the existing database server, and Sun has loaned a x4500 with 48TB of disk to get Zooomr back up and running. Zoho has provided support, a comparable server to the one that died and colocation space.
The Zooomr blog is now also having issues, when it rains, it pours for Zooomr, and there has been a lot written lately about these outages, both positive and negative. Perhaps the best written, and the most up to date is from Zolio. His post makes a lot of valid points and summarizes Zooomr’s status. Thomas Hawk has also commented giving an even more detailed history, plus what the current plans are for bringing Zooomr back online.
[Update: The community has started a Zooomr Wiki page to report the latest news while the blog is down.]
[Update: The wiki is moving to Zoho]
