Actually, I think it will be much worse than that. Think: location based advertising. In order to use color you have to allow GPS for the app and, optionally, push-notifications. A perfect combo for pushing ads when you're within X range, etc.
I sent a tweet to them yesterday, but got no response.

edit: group response to the below
No geo-ad platform has this low barrier to entry with this high of an incentive. Simply snap a pic and it's recorded and you're "checked in" if you will. You're doing something you want to be doing: recording your event, people you're with, etc. With 4S and Gowalla you have to want to check-in. Checking in is the app - not recording your memory by way of a picture/video. Sharing pictures is the biggest social app on the web.
- wilschroter 15y agoIs it not the case that you can already attach ads to an app that ties into geolocation?
- minalecs 15y agoum foursquare already sort of does this, go to the places tab, and it shows you how many specials are nearby.
- pbhjpbhj 15y agoPresumably Color inc. are doing some visual processing to read brands from images too and to possibly establish demographics?

- bad_user 15y agoI live in a crowded city -- I would personally love an effective location-based advertising engine that would learn my preferences. The only problem is, these people are doing it wrong. A location-based app that serves deals shouldn't collect data in indirect ways.
- gumbo 15y agoFacebook already do more than photo sharing. I don't personaly like using facebook, but at least with facebook i don't share my personal life with everyone. What's more personal than your pics? your face?
