I keep hearing about it more and more,so I am naturally curious about it,...what's this "instagram" thing about? Is it like Facebook,or Twitter,...or what is it exactly?

Did you try going to the website and reading what it says there?

Hmm. Well, I've done that and, without signing up to go further than the front page, I'm still wondering; is this simply another image hosting site or something more?

I'm sick and tired of the dysfunctionalities of Photobucket since its "upgrade". But I'm also bored with signing up for other sites and wasting time only to discover they're no better or even worse.

If anyone has actually tried Instagram it would be interesting to hear their thoughts...

Cheers - C

It's similar to Photobucket in some ways, but it's not specifically a photo hosting site.

It also has various filters you can apply to the photos...I noticed some of those filters make the pix look like they were taken in the early- to mid-70's (kinda cool in a cheesy way), or you can make them look sepia-tinged, b&w, or something else.

You can then post the pic to the website, so other people can see or comment on them...kinda like Facebook.

I liked it back when I had a smart phone, but I am currently saddled with an ignorant phone so I don't get to use it anymore.

I have one. Really enjoyable and easy to use, not to mention fun.

Basically just weed, $@!&, and image macros.

Ha, thanks SA. I guess that's just about enough to mean I'll sign up and give it a try. How the images are catalogued is a key issue to me: soon as you have more than a few hundred it can become extremely tiresome finding the one you're looking for - which is one of the things Photobucket has made even worse than before.

Also, for my own strange reasons I need a site that hosts animated GIFs, which some of them don't (Flickr, for example).

By the way, SA. Your nephew has gone very quiet. I've got his kick drum and other things cluttering up my guest bedroom. I wonder how his travel plans are looking...?

Cheers - C

EDIT: OK, PM received. Thanks, SA. :)

It sounds like I was accurate.
