Why would anyone believe that number? It sounds insane.

Er, I think it's a joke. Did I miss the point?

I'm thinking that I and 10 other people did. Doh.

Reminds me of a tweet by Angus Davis I stumbled upon a couple of months back.

Amazing how many brilliant minds and millions of dollars have been applied to enable people to share photos.

Okay, I'm confused. I get what the app is about and I get that this is just a product pitch, but what do I actually get if I donate?

Dibs on the color #80881E

Ironically, the Name That Color website reports the name of color #80881E is Trendy Green!

DEAR SIR/MADAM, There is nothing conspicuous about this.

How could I forget DEAR SIR/MADAM? Typing 419 scams is harder than I thought.

This is the best thing in 2011 by far. I enjoy the fact that more people are seemingly calling bullshit on this industry, it kind of needs a dose of realism.

I'm not so sure. According to Forrester, the average American will use 187 different photo sharing services by 2016. It seems like this could be a good chance to get in on the ground floor.

187 indeed :) Going to have to call in a 5150 to keep average investors from being burned this time...

I'm going to look it up on Cuil.

I desperately need a Qwiki on this subject.

You've been associated with California LE, or similar, me thinks.

Edit: Apparently Van Halen used "5150" for an album title. Shows how out of touch I am.

I love how the backlash of this app racing through the web. I'm not sure if this one bad investment is a horseman of the startups apocalypse but I think the valuation is definitely wayyyy off. I still wish them the best but until this thing hits critical mass I don't see myself using it.... Maybe that was the plan all along.....Get alot of hype and backlash at a crappy app...get alot of users willing to try it since…

I think the guy who wrote the "I'm Rich" iPhone app is salivating at the thought of this.

(to be fair, the Color service will certainly be more useful)
