Zoomii Launches – Congratulations, Chris
Zoomii, the 3D-like, interactive bookstore that makes amazon.com feel like a real bookstore launched publicly yesterday. Congratulations, Chris, on the launch. The site is an impressive example of scaling and a tile-based rich-browser experience.
What’s most impressive is that it’s all made by one (very determined and focused) person. Im-press-ive.
Dearest beta user,
Yesterday I opened Zoomii books to the public. It was a very exciting day for me. I got oodles of amazing feedback and enthuisasm, and it held up great the load (over 6000 people so far!). I can now pronounce it fit for habitation.
So if you’ve enjoyed the store already, please come back and enjoy it some more.
And if you have any friends or family you think might enjoy it, please feel free to send them a link.
Happy browsing!

Thanks, Ali. I really appreciate this, and more. You’ve been such a positive influence on the local startup scene with your optimism, perspective, humor, event organization, and how you’ve demonstrated how to start building a great business that’s a great place to work at.
