Word around town is that Zooomr, the photo-sharing website run by bitchy photographer Thomas Hawk and underage entrepreneur Kris Tate, is getting acquisition offers -- but Hawk and Tate don't like the cut-rate prices their cut-rate Flickr knockoff is commanding. Getty Images, Yahoo, and AOL are among the companies that have lowballed the startup, according to a source. One sign that Zooomr may, indeed, be entertaining offers: Tate's fantasies, aired in line at the Palo Alto Apple Store, that he's worth $3 million. Anyone else hear what Zooomr's trying to get -- and what it's actually going for?
