My favorite iphone app!

INSTAGRAM


A couple of weeks before my good friend advised me to download this fantastic app so I did. As I've mentioned in my past posts, I am not a very good social networker, but as a proud Iphonier, I've decided to check this app out and was really impressed. So, let's see what uniqueness does this app has. 

Basically, Istagram is a new protosharing application for not only iPhone, but recently for Androids too. It's absolutely free for now and once you download it, you just need to make a simple registration in order to start posting. This app is always lets you post edited photos not only in Instagram, there's also a choice to allow photo post on your Facebook, tweeter and couple of similar networks. 

This also means that your friend from other networks can immediately follow you on Instagram as well. In my app I have 15 different effects which make your photos look older, lighter, adds contrast. Once you're done with editing you can add caption and location. As for your friends, they can see new upload in their news section. They then can 'like' your photo and leave a comment.  So, overall, this app is very easy to use and you also need access to the internet in order to make it work. 


3 Fact about Instagram
  1. Instagram at the moment consists of 13 people, but was first founded only by two. The contrast between employers and consumers is essential. The heads of Instagram signed their first contract with Apple since they said it will help in PR company and they are not as good businessmen as Apple. 
  2. Instagram has been used by MTV crew on recent Grammy. Check this website to see all the photos and comments from this event. http://www.nuwomb.com/instagram-at-the-grammys-mtv-making-use-of-iphone-photography/
  3. Facebook made a $1 billion deal with Instagram heads. I think this means that Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg see this app as a threat and takes all photosharing value from them. This shocking news made a lot of talks , so you can watch this review explaining all the details.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3sqED-RrRE
