Connected Flow founder Fraser Speirs talks about the first version of his first iPhone app, Exposure, how it delivers “2 billion photos, in your pocket,” and the many ways it lets you interact with the online photo-sharing site, Flickr. Fraser discusses why upload wasn’t included in the first version of Exposure, why it will probably be in the second, and how he sees the iPhone as a communication device, not just a phone. Suggestions for the iPhone App Store, the effects comments have had on his thinking, and a balanced evaluation of a possible Mac App Store are all included in our conversation with Fraser.
