Is it not good that I have been using Instagram to share my other photography then? I guess I know it's not in the spirit of the app, but it's still a good platform to share with my friends who aren't nerdy enough to have a Flickr account. Have a cellphone picture I edited in Lightroom and uploaded to the internet and also happened to share to Instagram.  o2 Arena. by Clwn, on Flickr Le fog.

jackpot posted:Honestly, I look at some of the lovely stuff that makes the popular page and it's just weird. poo poo photo of someone's foot with 4,000 likes, then I'll look at the profile and it's a 17 year old girl from San Jose with 30,000 followers; I look at that and I'm like "What the gently caress?" I guess when instagram was new it was easier to get popular like that, I really don't know. You're right though, if they want to fix it they'll either have to completely reset the system (which would be hilarious) or do some major work on whatever algorithm calculates popularity. That said, I think there is a way to cheat your follower count and it's messing with the popular page too. I'm not sure how it works but I've seen accounts with stupid high follower counts that made no sense, and when I checked their followers page there were a ton of ghost accounts -- nothing posted and the userpic was just something random taken from Google Images. I think when the Android version came out someone figured out a way to trick the system with some sort of bot or something.

I personally just don't follow people who post DSLR shots; if I want to see that sort of thing, there are countless places I can go. It's annoying to see them on the popular page though, because that's where I go to find cool iphoneography (or androidography now too). But it's not as annoying as this: http://instagram.com/funnypix Ughhh. Anyway   e: here's a very old thread about DSLRs on IG: https://getsatisfaction.com/instagram/topics/indicate_non_iphone_photos Kevin Systrom is the founder of IG and he says quote:We're looking into this issue right now. To be clear, I'm not sure how we fall on non-iphone photos. I think gorgeous photography is gorgeous no matter what you use. But it seems disingenuous to simply post your portfolio in a stream. So I hear ya -- we're working on it. the kawaiiest fucked around with this message at 14:34 on Dec 13, 2012 |

jackpot posted:Not sure I get what you're saying here. I still use Snapseed for my edits, and I can still post something to instagram in one of two ways: hit the export arrow and choose "open in..." and choose instagram, or "save to photo library," and then browse to that from instagram. Since Snapseed saves to the camera roll, that works. I am basically complaining that they took away functionality as a feature. I like to post my professional work as my audience is a lot of makeup artists, stylists, and models. I used to be able to select the images folder on my iPhone as a source for these images but now I have to screengrab my phone to get the image to the camera roll to be able to post via instagram. I often don't use any filters on these images, so I wasn't aware you could export from other applications to instagram. I just assumed that and wanted to give people a heads up in case they wanted to hold off on updating.

the kawaiiest posted:People are actually pretty divided on that. I don't believe that Instagram is meant for that at all and a lot of people (myself included) feel that folks posting DSLR shots are missing the point. We want to see photos taken that moment, with your phone; part of the appeal is that we are all using the same equipment -- a cellphone -- and working with its limitations. I follow a bunch of professional photographers on IG, but they are all shooting with their iPhones. Seeing what a very skilled photographer can do with a cellphone camera is pretty awesome and inspiring.

Personally, I upload both my cellphone shots and my DSLR shots. I do feel it is a bit cheaty but I'm just sharing my pictures. I actually did a photo a day for a month project on Instagram. That was hard. Week one started here if anyone cares. http://andrwb.wordpress.com/2012/09/15/a-photo-a-day-for-most-of-september-week-1/ It's over now anyway. Don't think I would do it again, I don't want photography to become a chore for me.

It's yet another thing that started happening recently and is extremely annoying. poo poo like this is why I never could get into Instagram. I have a habit of snapping photos with my iPhone (now iPod) that I never shared till Instagram came around, because Instagram was basically "Twitter but for photos." Off-the-cuff, candid snaps from your phone. But then it got flooded with people's DSLR shots, images from Reddit and 4chan, pictures of celebrities, and girls taking pictures of themselves in bathroom mirrors. Not long after Instagram for Android was released, the problem got worse, and I deleted my account. I really dislike Facebook, too, so I don't regret leaving IG at all. Flickr has much better users and photos in its mobile photography communities, generally. I hate to pin the blame on teenagers since it sounds so typical, but I really do get the impression that kids are to blame for IG being a cesspool. Flickr users tend to be older.

Flickr is a cesspool too, you know. Just in different ways. The rule applies to the entire internet, really. If you focus on carving your own little niche that doesn't suck you'll be a lot happier in the long run.

There's a review here that lists all the features: http://www.iphoneography.com/journal/2012/12/13/starmatic-an-alternative-to-instagram.html The only thing I dislike about it is the repost feature, which lets other people post your photos to their stream, though the image remains linked to your account so it's not that bad, I guess.

There's a lot of knee jerk reactionary stuff going on with this. Instagram isn't really helping anything with the way it's pushing it through. A lot of the "points" in that cnet article are a lot of vague interpretations supported with people bitching on twitter and getting in catchy oneliners. As I see it instagram isn't going to become a free stock library. It seems the model they're going for is like Delta being able to use stuff which is all #aruba and be like check out these great shots from one of our many destinations. That's what I hope at least. I wish companies doing stuff like this wouldn't be so dumb because people are so very dumb. You could mitigate a lot of the drama by actually being aware that it's doing to make some drama. Walk people through it with examples and stuff. Of course the irony of most of the complaining being on facebook is hilarious.

Considering the way Facebook has been trying to monetize everything since their IPO, a little bit of knee jerk is appropriate. The company is not doing anything responsibly at this point, any idea that could conceivably earn them a buck is getting implemented. The quantity of bitching is pretty funny though, especially when the remedy (closing your account) is so simple. It's not like there's a shortage of image hosting sites out there.

oh yeah, they could be better for sure. Just I don't think it's all as malicious as some people are making it out to be. Lawyers writing TOS unopposed will push for the most favourable terms as possible. It shouldn't be that way, but that's going to be the default until we get a generation of legal experts who actually grew up with the internet practicing law. Not to mention there isn't great precedent for web based TOS being that enforceable. It comes down to lawyer against lawyer but I'm sure at one point we'll get a case of huge web company vs. joe public which will clarify how enforceable these TOS are. However companies are verrry careful and treading on eggshells about it. Not to mention different countries have different approaches to this kind of thing. Facebook fortunately is smart enough to know that doing what people think it wants to do (sell images for stock) is never going to work. As soon as a story about some baby picture being bought be some random company to promote a product hits the news that's going to severely damage facebook's rep and stock price. What we're really getting is targeted ads and the possibility that some of your pictures are going to be appearing in other feeds based on their hashtags or content to promote an advertising company. I doubt Coca Cola is going to be buying images from Instagram's library to use on billboard campaigns. There's a weird sense of entitlement with social media that is hard to really talk about because it is coming from a genuine place and we tend to side on the individual, but companies do need to support themselves. You can't power instagram on venture capital forever. People are overwhelmingly unwilling to pay for web services which mades an ad based model attractive to nearly everyone. That being said companies need to really build these TOS with PR in mind and that linkbait blogs with do their best to whip people up in a frenzy.

In my business life I deal with managing and coaching people. The Entitlement attitude is EVERYWHERE, not just social media. I will continue to post to IG but as of late it has been so spamy I quit looking at much. I have been toying with streamzoo and Flickr.

Instagram has posted a clarification on their blog already. I am also enjoying Flickr a great deal now that they updated the app. I love instagram but I'm so unhappy with the spam and the lovely lolcat accounts that I'm not posting as much as I used to. They really need to do something about that. E: honestly I hate ads and would gladly pay for an app to avoid them. I wish that was an option for instagram. the kawaiiest fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Dec 19, 2012 |

There's something about shooting with a square format in mind (I instagrammed the poo poo out of that trip) that just makes things more interesting, for some reason. Oh yeah it was a tough decision but I wanted to pack light and the deciding factor was that I didn't want to lug around a camera around my neck in 95 degree weather with crazy humidity. If I were traveling anywhere else, I probably would have brought it.
