Instagram

Even if you don’t realize it, you are already familiar with the latest hotness in social sharing apps. Instagram is the photo sharing app that allows users to take, filter, post, share, like and follow photos and photo collections. It makes even the worst photographer seem like a shutterbug. But what else can it do?

From ADR Studio comes an awesome digital camera inspired by the wildly popular photo sharing program Instagram. Alas, it's not real, but maybe someday. Here's hoping.

Buying a Mother's Day gift is a daunting task. While moms are generally firmly in the "it's the thought that counts" camp when it comes to gifts from their children, you still want to get something good for the woman who's given you so much. So how about a Stichtagram, which is a throw pillow decorated with all your favorite Instagram pictures?

As you've surely heard, Facebook bought the photo-sharing program Instagram for a cool billion dollars earlier this week. So far, reaction to the purchase has been "meh" at best, with most of the instant reactors on Twitter mocking the move.

By now you should have learned through the grapevine of news outlets that the all-powerful Facebook has purchased the photo-sharing platform Instagram for $1 billion. As Twitter user @AnthonyDeVito pointed out on Monday, "Today is a very exciting day for photos of brunch."

Looks like we're not the only ones thinking this is a slightly unnecessary buy.
