Easter is now over, we hope you all had fun with your family and friends. We do know you have created over 20,000 easter-eggs and shared them with everybody you knew! This was a real seasonal hit!

So, thank you for trying this cool toy out. We’ll be preparing more seasonal treats for you for the next holidays. Be sure to check them out.

In other news, we have moved to a new, faster, dedicated server. Our storage capacity and processing power have increased by several orders of magnitude. Get ready for a great ride!

WOW!

Photojojo has posted an entry about museumr today. I wasn’t expecting it, and 6,000 visitors (so-far) have caught me by surprise!

Welcome everyone, and thanks for playing with dumpr. I have received a large number of emails today, thanks for everybody who wrote in.The insanely high number of visitors surfaced all the bugs that were in the system. My finger is on the pulse and I’m constantly checking that service is working, but please realize that there have been some minor downtimes. These will be fixed as soon as possible, when the demand lowers a bit.

Again, thanks for everybody! and watch out for all the new toys that are just around the corner!

Hello again, everyone.

It has been a few weeks since the last update. Loyal dumpr.net fans have noticed all the changes and new features that were being added from time to time. It has been a great period for the dumpr.net group on flickr. There are many members, and more are joining daily! Thanks everyone for the interest!

Here’s a quick run-through over the new features:

• Amazing-Circles is an addicting effect of turning photos into these cool orbs. You won’t believe how hooked you’ll be until you try it yourself. Since launch last week, there have been more than 8,000 creations! Told you it’s catchy

• The ever-changing design scene is now using floor reflections in web design, user interface design, tv commercials, you name it! You can now create your own reflections with dumpr.net’s reflection tool.

• Some redesign of the dumpr.net’s icons. Now it makes a bit more sense what “fave findr” (formally Similr) does

Hey guys!

A new version of dumpr has just been uploaded. This includes a new image selector, 1 new museum (landscape) and several design changes.

The highlight of this upgrade is the new image selector. When launching museumr, you will be shown a tool called pickr. With that tool you can select your source for the museum. Dumpr now supports direct file upload and use of myspace, picasa and zooomr urls. That means that you can just copy-paste the url from your photo album at myspace, and voila, you’re done!

Flickr image selection has been improved and now looks somewhat similar to flickr’s own Organize tool.

This is the first release of these features, so please, if you encounter any problems, or have any suggestions or requests, please email to admin@dumpr.net.

The new museum has been sent in by bradpitbull2000, and was taken in Museum of Modern Art in New York. Thanks bradpitbull2002! This is the first museum in landscape format, other will be modified to fit as well.

One last thing:
== MERRY CHRISTMAS ==

Hello everybody.

A few new tricks are now available on dumpr:

• similr now allows instantly adding favorites from results page. If you haven’t used similr already, you should — you will find it very addictive and fun to use. There’s a short tutorial below, click on it to enlarge. Be sure to let us know what you think of it!

• Uploading photos from dumpr is now more user friendly with cool interface and use of ajax technology.

• Upgraded to latest phpFlickr backend. This means more stable, faster and richer support for flickr. New version supports geoTagging and other cool new features. Expect related tools soon

Hey guys.

There are some upgrades scheduled for this week. During maintenance, dumpr.net will be down for non-beta users. The upgrade has been split into 4 milestones, giving each upgrade some testing time. Upgrades will take place at 04:00 AM PST (GMT-08).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

• Dec 09: New upload system, new phpFlickr backend
• Dec 11: New image selection system, new landscape museum
• Dec 13: Surprise Tool 1
• Dec 16: Surprise Tool 2

Please send an email or post in the forums on any problem you encounter, or suggestions.

A new museum was uploaded last night.Taken in Munchen by bluebernadine; Try it out at www.dumpr.net

Yes!

It is finally online! Now you can claim your eternal fame, and have your art displayed on (virtual) galleries around the world.

Among other changes, this update also brings flickr-upload functionality; you can now upload your similr and museumr results to your flickr account.

So, what are you waiting for? Go check the new dumpr.net

Welcome to dumpr.net - fun with your flickr. The site was successfully launched on 27th of May 2006! We have many surprises lined up for you, you better check them out. Every week we will upload one more toy, one more gadget for you to play with.

We are starting the show with our similr tool. Similr is very unique and useful. It will first ask you for a flickr user; you can write in any user, not just yours. It will then load all of that user’s favorite photos and will allow you to select one of those. When you do so, it will crawl flickr’s photos, and look for favorites of contacts who also favored the photo you just selected. Complicated? Just try it out, but be warned, it’s very addictive. [Gil says :] I think I could have cut the development time by half if I weren’t following the new photos that similr found..
