i know there will be an onslaught of haters on this but DILLIGAF!!!!...lol

Just wondered if any Guru's use instagram at all??...

I was never convinced by it when it was Apple only, but now I have it on my S2, i admit i'm starting to really like it.....

Also if anyone does use it have you tried any of the web interfaces?? I'm currently using http://ink361.com and if you like instagram then you'll probably appreciate that

should maybe have a guru3d hashtag..lol

Well, at first it didn't bother me. Then one of my mates on Facebook started using it and constantly posts photos of absolute crap with infuriating hashtags. I'M A HATER!

What's an Instagrama? I know it's a photo app but I don't get what all the fuss is about.

I'm a hater. One (female) friend keeps ****ing spamming her Facebook page with instagram shots. I hate it, every single picture.

A social business thing without any revenue model that was bought by Facebook, and made available to Android only recently which made Apple sheeples /ragequit.
Basically a 'feel good' app for amateur photographers, and I've tried to put that lightly enough not to offend anyone (much).

Yellow! Yellow everywhere!
There are few people that don't do the piss filter, but that's rare.

I don't massively mind it, it lets me know who is a complete moron.

I was a hater. I raged in public and could NOT understand why people liked it so much.. Suddenly everyone is a photographer AND an artist? Horrible!. I even tried to explain to people that not everything is "art", and not everything can be a good picture...

Now my Facebook picture is an Instagram.

(Because in the right hands, IG is pretty cool. I just wish people with no eye for good pictures would stop spamming horrible, horrible shots of just completely random objects.)

FULMTL · 04-30-2012, 20:19 | posts: 6,202 | Location: Portland, Oregon

Li4m79, take pictures without the frame border, it looks less hipster.

Li4m79 · 04-30-2012, 21:18 | posts: 4,699 | Location: Scotland

lol.... i like the hipster look.... i don't use it to win awards or be the most popular, just something different and a nice way to view pics differently...

Now i gotta go clean my Vespa

Doug · 05-01-2012, 00:22 | posts: 4,811 | Location: UK

Just please keep away from Tumblr

Redemption80 · 05-01-2012, 00:36 | posts: 13,534 | Location: Glasgow

I think it looks good, and seems to produce decent results for people who have no idea about photography, so see no harm in it.

Nothing "hipster" about it, if anything the haters are the ones trying to be "hip" by trying to be different and hating on something popular, just because its popular.

Don't use it myself, but only cause i'm too lazy to take pictures these days

My facebook feed might look a bit different.. all I see is girls doing the duckface in the mirror or falling over drunk with Instagram effects, makes me cringe, lots of people end up unsubscribed. If not wanting a part of that is what a hipster actually is then I guess that's me

anyone selling a new era hat?

Redemption80 · 05-01-2012, 00:59 | posts: 13,534 | Location: Glasgow

That is more to do with the people on your Facebook, than the actual app being to blame though.

Technically the internet is to blame, but i doubt i would see being going offline for same reasons.

ah instagram

Li4m79 · 05-01-2012, 08:21 | posts: 4,699 | Location: Scotland

see i very rarely see an instagram post on my Facebook feed, maybe one every month or so. So i guess I've maybe not been overexposed to it like others may have......

Really can't see why folk think its that bad... its just pictures, its not survey scams or trojans, its just pictures, next folk will be hating WORDS on the internet, they're all over the place... In fact my facebook page is spammed with words and sentences these days...... all i see is words words words.... Bloody people learn how to type and then think they're frickin novelists......LOL

but really, its just a picture and people having fun?!?

Anfield82 · 05-01-2012, 10:37 | posts: 1,107 | Location: UK

If you enjoy it and have fun then I don't see a problem. I generally don't hate the app itself just this one twat that uses it. It would be alright if he took interesting photos but I really don't give a f about the inside of his car lol

It turns everyone into an attention whore.

It doesn’t turn anyone into an attention whore.

It gives attention whores a new way to annoy others though, but as I said the internet is more to blame for that than Facebook, or Instagram.
