#22Related article: http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/23/color-looks-to-reinvent-soc... 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.
It's a warning sign when startups have the cash to invest in a domain name before they have traction. Talk about putting the cart before the horse.
Particularly for a mobile-app - surely the site barely matters when it just links to the relevant app-store / Android marketplace.

#23It 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".
As of now, just searching "color" puts this at the first result.

Seems to be good now, it's showing up as the first result for 'Color' here on the Australian App Store.

Especially in cities, where sharing photos with the people within 100 feet of you can include anyone in your 20 story apartment building. Even if the rate of obscene photos is low, just one could ruin the user experience.

#26Did anyone see dhh's tweet about this? https://twitter.com/dhh/status/50764612001476608 I think he may be on to something here...
That is a clever way to get liquidity out of Facebook w/o having to pull any money out of Facebook itself (hence never showing any sort of pessimism).

Good point. I think it has to tie into your social network. Maybe you can adjust the degree of freedom -- more depth = more risk.
But the concept that people could do nude pictures and then be around the corner to actually see your reaction in real life is kind of creepy.
Re: Color
#28Why does your Market link not link to the app in the Market? Especially considering I absolutely can't find it.
same here, did my best searching and still can't test it.

#30Wow - the first thing it does is to ask you to give your name and take a photo of yourself, then it shares it with random strangers without warning or asking your permission or giving a way to delete it. Pretty unpleasant initial experience!
probably more unpleasant for the people w/in 100 feet of me as I accidentally snapped a quick photo of my coin purse... (hopefully it doesn't get mistaken for an ariel photo of Iraq again)
