Instagram

I love using Instagram as a guilt free way to post food pictures...so that I don't bug all me Facebook friends with them anymore. :oops:

Do any of you use it? I need a few more interesting people in my stream. I do not add my daughter's friends. Their streams are 99% bad self portraits.

I will check this out when I get home. I haven't heard of this site before and it doesn't want to work on my Mac that I use hear at work.

I say bug your facebook friend. ;-)

I've never used it before.

Becca,

Amusingly, even though I helped build Instagram, I don't use it. I also don't have equity. Story of my life.

Everyone: you need to have an iPhone, iPad, or relatively new Android phone to use Instagram.

Also, relevant to Instagram (and food):

It looks like I won't be using Instagram. I don't have the right equipment.

No smartphone? I'm afraid I couldn't make it without mine now, as well as my iPad.

I'm in the same boat as Todd...no smartphone, no tablet, so no Instagram for me. Also, there are too many hipsters using Instagram to transform decent photographs into bad ones and I can't encourage that behavior.

I suppose the wall phone in my kitchen won't work with Instagram so I'm with Todd and Darcie.

good thing I wasn't drinking my coffee when I read that. ;-)

For years I had a phone that was a phone. That's it. Then my job gave me a blackberry and I got hooked.

Still use a blackberry user now, personally I can't stand the i-phone except for browsing online. I'm a committed bbm'er. At least until RIM goes bellyup.
