yeah, this is one of those interesting internet class/education things, as more people start using FB you have more people -- usually older, poorer, ppl with fewer years of schooling -- using it "wrong" (this is kind of bill hitchert's thing), which means the tech bros and the youngs will go somewhere else for the social stuff. instagram is probably a good bet for a place theyd jump, which is one reason facebook bought it, and one reason people are freaking out about it

path is totally better than instagram via my personal experience of using neither of them
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 April 2012 20:01 (1 year ago) Permalink
i mean compare w/ last week when instagram introduced the android version of the app and tons of instagram users freaked out b/c all the poors would start posting photos

i tried path, i really did, but fuck that
based mostly on the fact that instgram has those stupid filters and uses the words quirky to describe themselves

prepare yrself now for the backlash against quirk

― lag∞n, Monday, 9 April 2012 20:06 (1 year ago) Permalink
well this goes back to what I said above - if fb really feels threatened enough to drop a billion on these dudes, is its hold on social networking really as strong as people think?

idea for iphone app:Redophane -- makes it so that when you look at stuff through your iphone camera, it looks like you're looking through a red piece of cellophane.

ive pivoted and now quirky is an augmented reality app where you look through yr iphone and everything in the world is worthy of backlash

xp why does that picture look like something that would have been airbrushed on the side of a panel van sometime in the late 70's?

it may be less a matter of "feeling threatened" and more one of seeing opportunities, preferring co-option to combat, etc.

LDR versions of HDR photos always look super weird
or low-rez, i guess i should say
seeing opportunities...in filters...on pictures
― iatee, Monday, 9 April 2012 20:17 (1 year ago) Permalink
one billion dollars worth of opportunities
Seeing opportunities in grabbing all the personal details of all the people who apply filters to their pictures.
― they do do doo doo sandwiches (snoball), Monday, 9 April 2012 20:18 (1 year ago) Permalink
But as Lincoln said, you can't have all of the personal details of all of the people all of the time, because, erm... they stop using your website and then shoot you in a theatre. Or something...
― they do do doo doo sandwiches (snoball), Monday, 9 April 2012 20:20 (1 year ago) Permalink
and they way they share them, and follow them, and the idea that this might be worked into FB. makes good sense to me, especially if it's as popular as they say.

if instagram steals facebooks photos and twitter steals their status updates and foursquare takes location and blah blah etc soon theres nothing people use facebook for anymore and the mall sits defunct and forlorn
its ironic that fb has spent all this energy trying to be everything to everyone when people seem more n more happy to use diff services for each thing, sometimes they route that stuff through fb but increasingly not so much
― lag∞n, Monday, April 9, 2012 3:53 PM (26 minutes ago)
*certain* ppl are happy to use diff services for each thing - but fb still trounces everybody else in terms of users and visitors, and if they're able to successfully absorb serious competitors they can guard their flanks. the trouble will come by A) distinguishing serious competitors from the thousands of flash in the pan timewasters like formspring, B) competitors that have something which can't be easily absorbed into facebook's hive of villainy, or C) competitors that flat our refuse to be acquired because they think they can take the crown. frankly C is prolly the most dangerous type of threat to fb, tho A could collapse them under their own rome-like weight.

it would basically be social coupons for porn, which is why it's a terrible idea

Facebook seems like the hardest to replace of all the big social things. I haven't looked at Twitter since I downloaded Zite (I was mostly using Twitter for interesting links - I don't really give a shit what celebs think about 140 characters at a time), I never see G+, I never look at the social aspect of Instagram (use the app to take a picture, post to FB sometimes), etc..

fb the web site is super easy to replace, fb the network of 'everyone on the world who does not live in china' is not
― iatee, Monday, 9 April 2012 21:22 (1 year ago) Permalink
the weird thing about instagram as social network is that it's pretty hard to discover new stuff on it, I don't ever really "stumble across" anything on it without a good amount of effort (looking at photos that the other people you're following have liked is the best way I guess)
people who have a lot of fans on instagram seem to do it through using 8 million hashtags on every photo which is just super tedious and dumb
― dmr, Monday, 9 April 2012 21:27 (1 year ago) Permalink
I don't really understand the backlash here, it's mostly coming from people that check their FB like all day on who commented on their Instagram posts and it doesn't make any sense other than yeah it's cool to hate FB.

how come instagram ate flickr's lunch?
(NB have never used the former, but use flickr on the reg)

flickr can't decide if it wants to be social or professional
also (I'm guessing) really bad iphone integration
