I think that Color is an incredible idea for an application, and when I read their pitch I wanted to bang my head on the desk for not coming up with that concept because it is so beautifully simple yet obvious yet useful!
Isn't it obvious that if you are at an event, say, a birthday party, you'd want to see what photographs your friends are taking as they take them? What about at a sports game or concert, can you imagine how amazing that'd be?
Raising $41M, selling for $200M, all irrelevant versus the grand scheme of this idea. I worry that they have this awesome idea, and are poor at actually building the product, and this makes me sad because I really want someone to do it right.
I really do not understand the hate at Color, they have made mis-steps, but their concept is actually a good idea - compared to a lot of stuff that Hacker News thinks is dumb.

- pclark 15y agono, not at all. Facebook exacerbates this problem if anything.

What about at a sports game or concert[...]? For most people, at least, it's not, because why would you be looking at your phone rather than the event that's actually going on, at full scale, around you? It would perhaps be good to see the photos others took of the event afterwards, when reminiscing.
