Reminds me of the great $40 million flop that was Color. How's this different?

@naeem Hey Naeem, great point - and very relevant. I think the key difference is Color's overall goal was to become the next major social network - based only on proximity. They had profiles, encouraged sharing of pictures in every location, and essentially wanted users to use Color as a 24/7/365 addictive product. Blurr is completely different in nature, as we operate as a utility app at specific times where users are actually taking a lot of pictures - which given contrary belief isn't all the time. When 'Blurring', it is usually in a very value driven way i.e. at a wedding, party etc where you use Blurr to heighten the experience with everyone around you i.e. getting the shared album of all their photos. Color tried to fundamentally change human behaviour by encouraging them to create content in un-natural places and share only in that place, we don't do that. Blurr compliments the content creation that is already occurring by letting you see everyone else's photos and creating a community of users/people during that time. The social element that will eventually come with Blurr is post-'blurring' - where we aim to continually allow users to react, interact, share and re-enjoy their experience in a variety of ways. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Can you think of any other apps that have started as pure utility and eventually grown into more social products?

@sam_marley Instagram :) Good answer though. Color's idea was fundamentally sound, they just got carried away. All the best to you.

I love the concept and have yet to see it implemented as well as Blurr has done. 👏

@zacherynielson Thanks Zac! Really appreciate the kind words. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on other photo-sharing strategies and why you think they maybe haven't succeeded. We're definitely taking a unique approach, but interested to hear from you what you see as being so different. Thanks again!
