I honestly can't remember the last time someone cited "first-mover advantage" when talking about startups. I'm genuinely surprised to see it writ here about a photo-sharing app.

  Of course each app/service/product is unique, which is what you're really getting at (and I agree). However, stretching this to the point where someone attempts to claim that a given app has first-mover advantage for mobile-photo-apps-a-bit-like-polaroids-which-you-can-share-and-add-filters-to-etc-etc seems a little ridiculous. Taken to this extreme, every startup (that is not a direct clone) can arguably have 'first-mover advantage' for their particular set of features.
