My theory as to why so many photo sharing apps:

(2007-2008 CS193P) Stanford Apple iPhone app project involves twitter api -> many twitter clients created.

(2009-2010 CS193P) Stanford Apple iPhone app project involves flickr api -> many photo sharing apps created.

"By this point, your Paparazzi app looks up real users on Flickr, finds and lists their photos and lets you view them up close by zooming and panning. It also plots these photos on a map and lets you browser photos by location."

Worse for me since redesign every gawker hashbang URL sends me to the .au version stripping the hashbang and leaving me with a challenge to find the actual article if it was a shortened URL.
