TechCrunch Disrupt 2011 is over. After three days of launches, pivots, interviews, and demos, I've finally had a chance to catch up on sleep and digest what just happened. In no particular order, here are my thematic takeaways from this year's conference:Day 11) The Mobile Picture Wars Rage On:I was naive to think the mobile picture-sharing wars started and ended last year, with Instagram the winner. Not so fast. Location-based check-in companyGowalla, struggling to keep up with Foursquare for mindshare within a market where the value of a check-in is being called into question, smartly transformed into more of a socially-curated travel guide (around location and pictures). Blogging site Posterous, struggling to keep up with Tumblr, refocused to launch "Spaces," focused more on public and private sharing of pictures and video within various groups. (Incidentally, Tumblr could become competitive withPinterestas it keeps growing.) And the camera wars continue. A new site by Eric Feng, Erly, seeks to organize pictures around experiences. Sequoia Capital partner Doug Leone went on the record about their investment in Color, which is set to release its next photo app, Blue, with deep sharing ties into Facebook, which is rumored to be building its own dedicated picture app.
