I would have thought they would have included a link to the app in the android marketplace on the home page. I clicked it and it just takes you to the android marketplace home. So far no luck finding on Android...

#12Why does your Market link not link to the app in the Market?
Especially considering I absolutely can't find it.

#13Related 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.
I wonder how important is a domain name for a mobile type app?
It's important, but only because the idea that you can have an exclusively mobile content sharing product is not realistic (right now). There's an expectation among users that they should be able to access the service from whichever screen they are using at that moment.
Ironically in Color's case, they don't even ask you to login, so there's really no way to do that. Therefore, the $350K has gone towards a really expensive splash page.

I'm from one of those countries where 'color' is spelt 'colour' and I'm glad to see www.colour.com is owned by them also. I doubt it cost as much though.
It would also be interesting to see if searching for 'colour' in the respective app stores also brings you to 'color' so that they are truly interchangeable

#15Anyone try this? It is basically bump for photos.
Re: Color
#16Wow - 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!

That bugged me too. Turns out you can swipe to delete the photo in one of the views. The photo still shows up in some other views so I'm not entirely sure it did anything.

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.
