Vaibhav,

Very intelligent comment. Personally, I feel that forcing people to add structure to their data is pretty tough. Nonetheless, working with unstructured data is also a real pain. The only way to make it work is to bake the structure into the tools - for example, make microformats and structured blogging a standard part of all blogging software. I think this is how things will shape up in the future.

Pete: This is definitely a new breed of mobile-edge-content generator sites and this one sounds very similar to Flagr.com. There definitely seems to be a potential opportunity here thought its not clear how a useful service can be created by posting pictures on a social network via your cell phone. Flagr has a certain focus and I like the fact that they are ensuring their data stays clean by enforcing a structure - though at the same time its tough to think that a larger userbase can follow guidelines to post. It has not happened as yet.

The key might really be to build structure around this and apply it to specific pain areas. The challenge will be in ensuring good meta data - the context - to define, organize and search across the pictures.
