You're not actually traveling with the memory card, and you still have to look it up online, in the hopes that someone else would follow your instructions. In your porn analogy, you're still getting pictures of others making love, without actually participating. I do agree the geocaching thing would be more successful and interesting. And it gets everybody more involved than just leaving a memory card in a bathroom somewhere. Well, tedk, this isn’t really participating, since you leave the card somewhere.

I'd say go with an SD card- the most common and they are dirt cheap. Cool idea- kinda like those traveling dollar bills, except you get to see pictures of where your card has traveled.

But do all cameras create the same file name sequence? If different cameras use different naming codes then it will be interesting to see what shows up. I am not sure.
