Zoom me 101

Dear VFers.
We see it every day when we idolise our favourite VF players on zoome. Japanese, always have VF5R while we don’t. Eventually there will be a time where we will have to upload videos to zoome for some reason, VF5R or not. It’s just lucky that I’m registered with zoome and can be able to bring you this tutorial.

A few things:
Zoome is in Japanese. It’s not for those who view Japanese in block letters.

Zoome is foreign, and can be viewed without a firewall (probably). YES!

Zoome can host ‘its’ own videos, but can also ‘host’ Youtube videos, or even a no-video blog, and a combination of all of them.
While youtube has a time limit, zoome does not have one, as I’ve viewed an entire soundtrack on it (all the Blazblue soundtrack, no longer there). However, it has a monthly upload limit of 1000MB. Not 1GB, 1000MB! Youtube does not have an upload limit, yet.

At the top you can search videos, but shift to search circles, or just google. You have to click the right side link to search profiles. The two pink circles are Top ranked, and what’s new, respectfully.
And the topics covered at the bottom of the page are:
Diary, Music, Original, Practical Knowledge, Anime/Manga
Game (the topic you need for your VF fix, BTW), Pets, family, Promotion, Performance,
Good, Interesting, Car/bike/train journeys (really popular), Sports
Events, Cooking, Fashion, Healing, Nature/Science,
Politics, Entertainment, Test videos

At the bottom of the page, tucked below, are tags, the bigger the more popular. At the time, CoD2 and cats were the most popular, and below that, Site news.

Click on the zoome logo at the top anytime to get back to the title page.

At the time of the screen capture, there were 63, 9775 members, and going strong! The text boxes on the left are the usual Login details: email and password. But we don’t have one. I guess we’ll click the big pink button above... but before we do, let’s go over a few details. The videos on top fade after a short time to another video. And see that big square bar scan for your mobile? If your cell does that, it will take you to the mobile version of the site. Don’t hold your breath, but it is for cells.
