The Daily App: Instagram for iPhone

Can an app provide fun and interaction as a new social media network, and still provide service as a productivity tool?

You may think this a stretch, but Instagram for iPhone, a free download from the Apple iTunes App Store, is an app that can do exactly that. This isn’t a new app, but its popularity has been surging throughout the mobility and social media markets over the past several months – perhaps in light of the launch iPhone 4S and its 8 MP on-board camera.

Additionally, Instagram will integrate with your Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr and other social media accounts, and allow you to simply email a photo to someone if you want,

Instagram, essentially, is a social media platform for sharing photographs. The app allows for instant editing and transformation of iPhone photos from color to black-and-white, as well as to provide ‘70s-era Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid-quality grainy color images as well.

By combining the power of a popular social media platform with the ability to instantly share photos and photo images, Instagram provides powerful potential marketing services as well. Businesses from manufacturers to even landscapers can provide an audience with compelling images and views of their products and work.

The fact that you're able to manipulate images so easily in Instagram makes it a stellar photo app just for that reason alone.

If you have an iPhone 4S, you should give Instagram a try.
