iPad Free App of the Week: Instagram
Wednesday, November 3, 2010 at 9:26AM 
While most people think of Instagram as an iPhone app, I use it on the iPad. Even though the iPad doesn't have a camera you can import your favorite images into your iPad and have at it. I've heard Instagram called a Twitter for photos, but this app is more than that.
You can't go wrong with Instagram, give it a try and there is a good chance you will start using it regularly.
You can now follow your friends’ photo updates as they move through the world. "World" is the key word here as there are tons of members from Asia and Europe. Select from photo filters that transform regular ol’ photos into works of art you’ll want to keep around forever. Instagram has been growing at 100k users a week since it launched, and that pace is even faster post Halloween. That number could hit a half-million soon.
Features include:
- Apply over a dozen fun & beautiful filters to your photos
- Post as many photos as you want, for free
- Find and follow friends who are using the app
- Attach (optional) location information to any of your posts
- Share your posts to Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, & Facebook
- Check in to Foursquare when you post a photo with a location
- Let your friends know what you think by liking & commenting on their photos
- View the most popular photos around the world from Instagram users
The ability to do anything over the web right now is limited to changing your password and managing your account. That I'm sure will change soon.
Check out Instagram, even on the iPad.

I was just wondering if anyone uses this on their iPad. I post photos of my own, but I find myself parusing through my friends photos more often. I LOVE this app!
