'Color' kinda sucks.
- 'Micro' social networking - or whatever you call an app that only interacts with people in a 150 foot radius - is basically useless in non-popular areas. Monuments? That could be interesting, and I would take a picture of my own to put online. But Hurst Hall? The Starbucks on New Mexico Ave? Incredibly boring.
- Instant photo uploads are great. I can't help but feel that Facebook could just as easily add that to their app though, and then what would Color be? Back to the 'micro' social photo sharing.
- What's social about Color? Not too much. If you happen to find a friend's photo, you're lucky. Will people really care about other people sharing their pictures? I don't see it happening.
Those are my three thoughts on Color. I'm considering removing it from my phone - honestly, the only reason why I haven't yet is because it has a $41 million backing already.
The first version of Color was brutal. No instructions, and a shaky premise. The update was somewhat better. it's going to take a lot more for this app to ever be worth using.
