Sorry, it’s a signal::noise thing. All of those pics are an annoyance, like someone pulling out their children’s elementary school musical pictures from their wallet (old days).

People’s fleeting moments of visual archiving are not nearly as interesting as they believe they are. Will you really ever look at them again?

A tacked on photo sharing service on Twitter will not have the same appeal that Instagram does. There’s very little overlap between the people I interact with on Instagram and those I interact with on Twitter.

They’re only four, maybe the should recruit new developers?

Back when instagram first came out, I immediately recognized the potential… CatPaint pictures look AWESOME when they’ve been put through instagram. e.g. http://www.fusioncorpdesign.com/instagram_search/?hashtag=catpaint

Shortly after that they launched their API. The problem is they only offer ways to harness the photo sharing aspects of their platform, and what I would like to do is harness the image filtering. Press a button in CatPaint, and have it launch instagram, ready to add effects and upload. This is technically doable, even with iOS’s limited inter-app communication.

I’ve contacted them about adding this kind of api, but so far it’s not on their radar. It would be great because it would allow apps to get in on the vintage-filter game without re-inventing the wheel every time.
