Ditch Instagram, Welcome Flickr
Good old days never fail to bring back memories. Back in the days when Flickr was the king of photo hosting (web based), it appears that it's going to take over Instagram's throne currently as the biggest player in photography social networking (mobile & web based).
Due Instagram's recently changed "user agreement" where it defies the user the liberty to allow or not allow Instagram in using images on the company's prerogative. Bottom line is, Instagram is owning their users pictures and can manipulate it whatever they want (like displaying in ads, selling them, etc) without prior consent to an Instagram member.
That in mind, I'm letting go of my Instagram account (though i was a member since 2010) and will not touch it until the User Agreement has changed to a more sane and fair guidelines.
Let's welcome Flickr in the scene. Just got the free Flickr app from the app store and I was awestruck by its minimalist style- The white backdrop and intuitive buttons, the plethora of options and the better options to filter and edit your photos as compared to Instagram app.
Most of you must have your yahoo account so I used mine and surprise got me that I have 2 existing photos that was set to private.
This is another PLUS for flicker it lets you set privacy options for every image you upload.
You can also create albums via SETs, and the lightning speed connect to post via twitter, Facebook and other social networks.
I recommend that you install Flickr on your iDevice and keep those shutters flicking!!!

Twitter released Photofilters ala Instagram
yeah Twitter fans... if you're using Twitter version 5.2 on your iGadgets, you'd definitely enjoying now the photofilters (9 choices), crop tool and enhance mode features. Of course, they patterned it ala Instagram to counter the ever-growing population of Instagram users.
It boils down to one thing, we are in an era where images and pictures are delicacy to the users of social networking. With the latest feat on the Twitter apps, a user can instantly upload a picture or video. I guess, what's in the pipeline from the big whale carrier is to stream the tweets that contains images and videos. This would be a downright PLUS for everyone who is on Twitter. Who can nevery say Nay to visuals nowadays anyway?
