InstagramInstagram has passed a huge milestone, announcing that it now serves more than 100 million monthly active users.

Snapchat shotSharing photos is a great way to show friends what you’ve been up to, then again sometimes you might not want that unflattering photo you have taken to stick around forever.

Users simply take a photo on their mobile device, set a time between one and 10 seconds for the photo to delete and then send the picture.

After the recipient opens the photo they can view it for the allotted time before it is destroyed.

Olympics and Instagram Infographic

Ryan Seacrest at OlympicsInstagram has only been around since 2010 but the social photo sharing service is quickly becoming a vehicle not only for traditional photo posting but also as a way to share events with massive reach. The social media engagement and monitoring firm VenueSeen recently took a look at photo sharing during the 2012 Summer Olympics and discovered that more than 64,000 pictures were Instagram shared by spectators and athletes in London.

Olympic organizers originally tried to ban the sharing of images, videos and audio recordings from the event, claiming copyright control over events, however with almost every visitor to the London Olympics carrying a smartphone that copyright protection proved to be impossible to control.

To determine which photos were Olympic generated the team at VenueSeen examined geo-tagged and hashtagged photos from the 2012 Olympics on Instagram. [Read more…]
