Thats assuming you want to get all the spatial awareness they supposedly tout....

so, since they believe GPS is a non-starter -- lets do this with GPS... dupe the interface and basic functionality

Good idea. Maybe geofencing via SimpleGEO, with a little Skyhook SpotRank mixed in http://help.simplegeo.com/entries/209049-what-is-spotrank

Interesting thought:

How about a reverse color -- in which you DO NOT own (meaning get associated with) any of the pics you take -- they ONLY get plotted to and left on a map using simpleGEO.

Basically, you pull out your camera, snap a pic and it gets uploaded and displayed at is geoloc, and removed from your phone - then all you see is anon pics left where they weree taken.

One data point that would be of use/interest would be the direction of the camera, and a timestamp.
