Jokes aside, I bounced the concept for colors.com off of some people and they didn't like the idea of automatically sharing pictures they take with people who are nearby. While there is something interesting to this concept, I think it could go either way. It could be a lot like Google Wave. It is certainly innovative, but I'm not convinced it will catch on. Maybe it will... Thoughts anyone?

Teenagers. And Japanese. They will always use stuff like this. And funny thing abou teenagers - there are brand new ones being made by the millions every single year.... It's the Toys'r'us business model. Your customer base is brand new every single year.

  To be fair, there are new Japanese being made every single year, too.

I'm sure it will catch on, it's a just a pretty obvious thing to do. But I wonder how color plans to maintain market dominance? I can't see enough of a first-mover advantage here to justify such a big bet. - But perhaps they have something awesome up their sleeve that we don't know about yet?

  It's funny you say it's obvious. The whole elastic network concept wasn't obvious to me at all until they explained it. It's somewhat engenius in my opinion, but maybe I'm slow and this idea is obvious. Like I said though, I think the concept has some mainstream acceptance problems and I'm not sure it will work.

    Well, I should clarify that I think the concept of grouping photos (videos, chats, etc.) by GPS is obvious. It's been done before and so far this is not much more than a logical progression (making it easier and more fun). I don't even know what "elastic network" is supposed to mean, but yes, they better have a lot of that, for $41M...

I installed it. Couldn't understand the point. Uninstalled.
