Maybe it’s in the works w/ them … ???

I mean, why would those who use Instatram on their phones ever access the desktop site? People who didn’t have the app already could click through Twitter links or view the photos on their friends’ Facebook walls – I don’t see how adding a desktop version furthers anything besides being a narcisstic “ooh, look at all the pretty photos I have!”

Very recently Instagram stopped support of an older version of Instagram and now gives me an error when I try to post, so unless there is a way to upload photos using the desktop interface, I guess I’m not using it anymore.

Being able to browse images or utilize social features of Instagram on the web or via desktop program makes sense.
