As Dave Sparks pointed out, it shouldn't be too difficult to do this, at least from the Android side. I haven't played with the camera yet, so I can't give any concrete tips.
Have you thought how you are going to coordinate the "thousands of users"? For that, IMO, you're going to need a website that the Android app phones home to to find out when it should snap the picture. You could probably throw something up on Google's AppEngine and communicate via JSON (that's what I'm planning on doing! ;-). The website is where the "social networking" part of the project comes in. Actually sounds kinda cool. Good luck with it!
