I suspect the key feature that has the VCs excited is the concept of "implicit social networking". Which is, rather than relying on explicit, self nominated constructed social networks this will grow the network organically - Color will end up with a huge implicit social graph that has a unique authenticity to it (these are not people who are pretending to know each other, they are people who really actually get together).

I don't really get how that creates a social graph that's any more valuable than people you've explicitly added. Just because I'm in a neighborhood today doesn't mean that I'll want to connect with (or even be in the same place at the same time) the other folks whose pictures I can see in the app. It's a fun concept, but after using it for a bit, I'm still trying to think of why I would care. If I can only see pictures from the neighborhood, I'm unlikely to see anything that I can't already see with my naked eyes.
