Someone on Sand Hill Road should throw a hundred million dollars at Animal Systems immediately.

For starters, every major company in Silicon Valley is going to want to buy it, from to to Twitter to Facebook to , and incorporate it into their offerings. Chirp should hold out and make it a universal standard.

But more importantly, Chirp solves all kinds of problems or, rather, radically improves the process of sharing content in very specific ways.

For example, remember ? That app enabled strangers at a party to share photos without logging in. By simply using the app, pictures taken by other Color users simply popped up on your screen, along with every picture they'd ever taken ever using Color. Excitement about Color was largely drowned out by criticism of privacy violations and fears about creepy snooping.
