freaking funny. I love this place...

Yes the privacy policy is at least clear about it.

What kind of a shock. The color app is unsuable, the user experience is the worst i ever had with an app. That's beein said, if data mining is there "goal", then i suspect they fail because when your goal is expressed in this way not in a way that match "user's" goal then you're going to fail. Google never said: "Hey our project i about collecting as much informations on people as we can". There goal is to satisfy some needs of their users.

On the other hand i need to say i was shocked to read what Color was about because it was so close to my start-up gold "idea" (don't ask what? :-) ). But more the time pass more i feel their project is so far of what we'd be doing.

I whish they understand that they can't succeed in this way, they can collect user's data like all those social networks does, but in exchange they need to provide something in exchange.

@mayank is right, when you get popularity you are EXPOSED, and every developer could be able to spam your système without that much effort. Captcha are Effective even if they are EVIL, anyhow i think that one day we'll find a viable solution again's spams.

Interesting analysis. I knew that people put effort in spamming, but never new they go so far.

I also suggest so. People like video as it is clear and they can see what they can do without much effort.
