We must at least be in a photo sharing bubble.

It sounds cool, but due to the name it's impossible to find in app store search.

Edit: I was able to find it by searching for "color camera group", though curiously, not "color group camera".

According to one of the comments at TC, the domain cost $350K. It's cool to see newer (and well-funded) startups going for non-"web 2.0" names, e.g. Path, and now Color.

Agreed. A QR link would be nice.

"color camera group" isn't working for me, sadly.

I wonder how important is a domain name for a mobile type app?

Agreed. I just went to color.com instead which does have a link to the app store directly.

It's difficult to find because it isn't fully indexed in the App Store yet. I'm sure it will be easier when the download count increases.

Given the $350,000 price tag, I sure hope it's somewhat important.

What about searching for color.com?
