#13I like this. I'm a big IGer and so is my wife. I was at the Giants game for Star Wars day with my kids Sunday so looking through all the #attpark / #sfgiants hashtags is fun.
However, here's one thing that annoys me with this and all "endless scrolling" web apps: when when I scroll down several pages, then click an image to see it bigger, when I go back I'm no longer at my "page".

#16Nice work, could user remove their photos (if they want)? Maybe you could provide some special hashtag like #noindex, just some thoughts...
keep going!
