Canv.as, still in invitation-beta, just dropped a feature dump that will make the image-editor more social while introducing us to new web vocabulary. Groups are like categories or verticals–subforums would also be an appropriate analogy. ”Pins” allow users to track the thread of a specific image being remixed.
