Here's a quick guide on everything you need to know about Instagram:
Instagram is an online image-sharing and social network site with over a hundred million users, who can post, exchange, and share photos and videos. Launched in October 2010, the company was bought by Facebook in April 2012.
How to use Instagram
Instagram is available on iOS and Android devices. Once installed, and having taken a few pictures, Instagramers can synchronize their photo sharing to other social networks, and so photos can be edited and posted directly to Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Flickr, Foursquare and other such applications. Films can also be shared.Instagram's signature feature is its photo sharing app which allows users to assign filters to photos with the photos similar in size and appearance to old-fashioned Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid pictures; the above picture is an Instagram image.
Are Instagram Pictures Really All That Good?
The quality of the image, according to one critic, can "just hit a certain threshold of quality where the images became visually appealing." Compared to professional Adobe plug-ins and Photoshop tools, "Instagram photos have a decent quality."
Instagram pictures are not as good in terms of quality or resolution, duh, but can produce interesting images. And if a picture pleases you and your friends, maybe that's good enough.
