I never really understood it. How's it different from just tweeting a photo or something?

it's not different than that. it took the idea of tweeting but made it photo based, and combined with cool photo treatments that actually look good. it's cool if a lot of your friends have it. i'm glad it took off and is doing well. i use it much more often than twitter.

Agreed. It like a social network (almost) for photos.

i can't think of many things i dislike more than how instagram makes pictures look.

Disagree. For iPhone camera images? I think it's impressive. Most would take images with a camera, bring to Photoshop, edit them and post on a blog feed and most people don't even know how to correctly edit images, so its a dummy-proof way to get awesome professional-looking images. Instagram can just take on your phone, press a button and done. I use a cross process app before I import to instagram. As someone who edits photos professionally I think instagram is very neat hobby app for photo enthusiasts who want to keep a sharp eye without spending hrs on editing. Thumbs up for Instagram!

Actually I'm not sure what I'm disagreeing with, your personal opinion? I'm half asleep I have no idea what I was reading. Hah. whoops

yeah, i mean its just my opinion. Even if it's simple i just hate seeing a million photos that all have the same treatment because someone decided it looked good.

I know this sounds cliche' but i have albums of panoramics i did in university with the 'instagram' style treatment before it was even out and i used to do it a lot and all nicey nicey in PS.....now it looks pretty much the same as instagram so it kinda killed it for me, i have got it but never use it.

vintage style photography has been trendy for a while, it's not like instagram invented it. they're capitalizing on the trend and making it accessible to anyone with an iphone. you're not the only one.
