Hah, that is awesome. I wish there had been opportunities like this when I was a kid. I was programming with my dad at about that age, but the internet was only really available at universities back then - there was no chance anything I wrote would ever make it out of my loungeroom.
Although outrage is easier and feels better, I think that condemning the bad needs to go hand-in-hand with promoting the good. Yes, titstare is a dumb app and it was dumb to put it on stage, but it was only one presentation. Even if well-intentioned, I think overemphasising bad behaviour can amplify its effect by making the industry seem worse than it really is.
Bravo to your daughter and to you. I'm sure there are other kids who will hear about this story and say "well, hey, I could do that". It must make you proud to have raised a 9-year-old role model.
