I Really Wanted to Hate 'Color' But Here's a Use Case...
- phlux 16y agoColor really needs a desktop/webapp companion app which I can watch the pic-stream from my contacts of interest / places of interest / subject matter of interest... I just installed it on my iPhone, but I have the 3G and it is super slow (all items are slow on this phone) -- Ill install it on my My Touch later - but as I set at my desk I would prefer a tab in my browser to view the photos as opposed to just my phone. --- The conversation that is on this article - did that occur in the Color app?
- pedalpete 16y agoWhy would you want to hate something you've never used just because they raised a huge volume of money? Ignoring the fact that they just might be on to something huge (don't trust me, ask sequoia), a valuation like this could raise the valuations for other start-ups.
- gordonc 16y agoHi Cody! Color is the foursquare of photo apps. Which is to say: novel, silly, and, ultimately rather useless. For group photo sharing, which I think is an awesome idea, there's an app/site in private beta called Chute (getchute.com) which does the same thing with less emphasis on users nearby.

- hucker 16y agoAnother obvious use case is at a party/a night at the club. I'd love to take a few pics and go home and see every picture taken there at the time. Since people generally have the decency to not put party-pictures on facebook anymore, it'd be great to see them somewhere without having to tag your shenaningans for the whole world to see.
