We released a new version of the zoomin localsearch site today. Featuring a new power-orange colour scheme, cool indicative icons and simpler user interface.
Watch out for the next release (code-named Elephant) early next week. 
We recieved this awesome email from Matt Purvis:

I couldn’t find a Mycroft (Mozilla and Firefox) search plugin for Zoomin so
I’ve made one for myself and thought you might be interested in offering it to
your users….
If you want to test the plugin you can install it from my (rough!) install page:

Well – I installed it and it works great – Matt’s even built us a cool little favicon – you can now search NZ addresses right from your search toolbar in firefox.
Thanks Matt! 
One of our first customers has put his own mapping interface online using Zoomin Maps.
Nz Flats allows you to view your search results in either a standard text based search – or with each point plotted on our maps embedded in their site.
It’s nice to see our maps out there getting used – 3 months from hand hitting keyboard to our first customer out there for real.
Zoomin has been mentioned around some New Zealand weblogs quite a bit over the previous few weeks. One of the coolest mentions was from Hitwise – where Sandra Hanchard did a neat article on us – thanks Sandra!
Just a quick note to say that we’ve released a new version of the Zoomin System.
The best bit about this release is that we’ve got lots of features in testing and ready for deployment over the next month. We’re looking forward to building a community of New Zealanders that want to share their favourite cafes, beaches and skate spots.
