#2Just in case you didn't trust your photos/albums/comments with Facebook (or Google), you could try a privacy respecting, user-owned, self-hosted solution (self-hosting coming soon):

#3Probably most people don't notice or care, but Facebook introduces so many artifacts into jpegs, there's got to be room for a startup that actually doesn't compress the crap out of images.

#4correct me if I am wrong but... hasn't Google+ have this for a while? (ofc G+ isn't used nearly as much as FB for photo sharing, but just sayin')

"Again and again, we warned y’all that Facebook, owner of all photos of people on the Internet and the most popular mobile photo app, was going to crush you eventually."

They would require lots of funding quickly if they were to grow suddenly. Think of the bandwidth and storage. Not cheap.

#9If you build your house on a river-bank, you can hardly be surprised when a flood washes it away.
I guess that's the risk with any entrepreneurial work, that someone will get to market faster or build on an existing user base (in this case, a completely unmatchable user base). Surely though, if a whole business idea can be trumped by a new feature on someone else's site, that'd warrant some stronger scrutiny.
