My "gushing post" had nothing to do with his technical prowess, rather with his foresight to pull it all together. Sometimes what is clever, and dare I say useful or even delightful, is much more interesting than what is difficult.

The question is does anyone really care?
If you want to see pictures, subscribe to Dave's Flickr RSS feed. QED, EOM. The point is a solution already exists and one that is much less intrusive/spammy.
Twitter merely exists as an alternate alert mechanism in this case. Twitter is interesting when you are able to follow activities that you may have a similar interest in. It is not interesting when you get 15 URLs in a row all pointing to Flickr pix.

Now, wrt the question "does anyone really care?" Are you asking if I care about Dave's photos or are you asking if there is anyone who would like to see my pictures? To be perfectly blunt, I don't care about Dave's photos. However, I am willing to bet my mother will want to see photos of her grandchild as I take them, just as I'll want to see photos as my wife takes them too, say while I am stuck at work...
True, we could in fact just grab the feed from flickr, once these new pics are uploaded at some later date and time, but I really like the idea of being able to do that in the moment. Will someone come along and create a more seamless experience that doesn't require four different companies to do it? Sure, I would imagine and hope so, but that is simply not the case today. It is very early in the game, but this is an exciting development that in my view will change the way we will interact with photos in the future.
Of course, YMMV.

The reason what I called this out is this is not cutting edge work. Photosynth on the other hand is extremely exciting and would be much more game changing in terms of changing photographic interaction.

If I may quote myself again, "Sometimes what is clever, and dare I say useful or even delightful, is much more interesting than what is difficult."
I do appreciate your pov and thank you for stopping by throughout the day to continue this thread. btw, I am truly honored to be the subject of the first post on your new blog and hope to be a part of many more...
If you think I'm full of it, call me on it. I only ask that you address the actual substance of my post.

Therefore, I stand by my statement that this is a mashup (with some glue) and a fairly simple and mildly interesting one.
Stand by for more callouts. I'll be gentler than uncov. =)
