I, personally, use instagram as a way to post a photo across social media networks ie Facebook and twitter. Instagrams new terns of service give them the right to basically sell everything about me, including photos, to their partners without my consent. I don't like this and I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that lets me post a photo to multiple platforms at once?
I never cared about the filters, so that doesn't matter to me. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you give up that right as soon as you use twitter or the 'book , I doubt it'll matter if instagram does as well

While I see your point, I don't think Facebook or twitter go this far. I know they both use info, but these new terms specifically say they can and will use your likeness and photos if they want.
Flickr seems to be the thing to use. If anyone has any other suggestions, I am open to them.
Edit: the Flickr app is horrendous

But now instead of your shack you live in a... Smart Mansion. Lmao, Yeah i feel like we are making progress with android now that are consumer base is almost if not bigger than iOS
I downloaded it, and it still doesn't compare to the iPhone's Facebook app, but I guess its a step in the right direction

FB Places and Groups are junks. they take spaces on the screen for absolutely no use because I dont even care to use those feautes. Wish i can disable them and make them disappear for good.
can you guys tell me what size your facebook apk is on your phone? Mine is ringing in at a whopping 1,29GB with 1.08MB (before the update) as the Application and 1.29GB listed as data. Clearing data does nothing for the size. Just seems way out of whack IMO.

+1, I dont get it. I have filters in the 6 photo apps I already have on my phone. Any picture/screenshot taken/downloaded is already instantly uploaded to Photobucket, and Dropbox and Google+ does this as well. If I want to share there is already a share button that offers much more functionality than any share Instagram can have.. What is so special about this app?

Its the sharing community in itself. Much like a lot of people didn't get twitter at first. My girlfriend doesn't have Facebook, twitter, or Google+ she's always hated social networks but she absolutely loves instagram.
I've noticed she gets quite a good amount of commentson her instagram photos. Yea you can post photos on any other social network but it isn't front and center. You'll just be another link in a sea of status updates whereas instagram is all photos all the time.
Why limit yourself to 140 characters when a picture is worth a 1000 words?
That should be instagrams slogan. I should pitch the idea to them lol

So it's a social network where you only post pictures, no statuses, no links?. Are all pics completely public or private or can you choose individually?

Its 100% photo driven. You can do a small description with the picture and tag people. I kind of think its like the photos aspect of tumblr + twitter follow/following + hipstamatic filters. It reminds me of a bit of flickr or what it could've been had they gone mobile with their community earlier.
Its definitely not for everyone but ill give it a try when it comes to android.
Also I'd assume there's an option to make the pictures private only to approved people (followers).

I downloaded it on the iPad and looked around.. Skrillex had some cool pics up. None of my fb "friends" had actual pics up and only a handful of them had accounts, all girls. It was okay I guess but I still dont really see the point. Its like Google+ for pictures, it may be better than facebook (pictures), but without the user base its useless to me.

Definitely all dependant on how many people you know on it. It seems most of my friends are on it. But then again they're all on iPhones mostly so they actively use instagram.

Pretty sure iPhone lets you share any photo you take to the usual social networks. Instagram is just a community built around people who like taking indietastic photos with filters. I know you can already upload photos to a million places...but for example if I upload a photo to Google+ even with me being in 1000+ circles I'll maybe have 1 comment on it. My girlfriend on instagram with 76 followers will have atleast 5 comments.

Nah iDevices wont let you share to the fb, which is the big one imo. You have to go into the fb app and upload it.
I love how Android lets you share to any app installed on the device.

Because they know when you have over 500 million people that no matter how bad your app is they will still come back to the site.
I have stopped using the app. It drives me crazy. I use friendcaster and website. The app is so slugish and acts stupid around 99% of the time.

Faster facebook. Goggle it on the play store
Lol I don't like Facebook enough to get a dedicated app for it. From what I have seen though, their mobile site is really poorly designed like they are trying to force you to use one their app. I assume Friendcaster is much better than the official app.
Don't forget that the latest update also added FB camera and FB messenger apps. At least mine did. Now I have 3 FB apps. WEAK.

Yeah, I've deleted the Fb app too--don't like the increasing bloat and I'm really annoyed by the their spammed camera and messaging apps. Tried Fast for Facebook, and as much as I'd like to support their xda-friendly devs, it doesn't seem to update all that well or display photos and such.
OTOH, the mobile web app, it seems to do what I need without bloating up my phone. For a light Fb users, it does the job.
Yep... Agreed. I absolutely hate the facebook app.

That was the last straw for me, uninstalled it. They've removed the extra launcher icons now, but the app is still terrible.
A lot of times it will turn on my GPS when I enter the app, and never let go of it.
It's terrible cause it's Facebook. I hope my boss doesn't read this

This is just a thread for thoughts and ideas that people want to share!
I like apps and after owning windows 7, iPhone and android I have an idea for how apps should look like, if anyone own iOS they can tell you tweetbot is one of the best apps on it, or android tweet lanes looks really good but needs speeds performance, anyways I would like to know what apps you like the a lot but would love to be updated to ICS Holo look and feel, IMO the app that I used the most is Tapatalk, probably the best money I spent on android app so far(and titanium backup anyways the app is great but miss the ICS feel, I wish they could updated to make it feel more Holo look and feel like tweet lanes, swiping will be cool to go from recent to favorites , what app would you like updated?

I would love for the HD netflix app to be updated.
I'd like the Hotmail app to be renamed to "Outlook" and completely redesigned/updated to match the web interface of the new Outlook.com email client released by Microsoft.
And for those who don't know what I'm talking about, the new Outlook.com really does compete and even beat out Gmail in MANY aspects including features, simplicity, and attachment size allowed.

I wish they would update 2 apps.
1. Awesome Beats - so it works with apps other than Google Play.
2. CWM Touch Recovery - so it saves backups with the correct date and time.

Facebook decided it wasn't going to place nice with google anymore and throw up all kind of restrictions on the API to sync contact pictures with Android. Basically it's not even supported with JB so that means you need to use a 3rd party app unfortunately. Don't ask me for sources because I read it somewhere when I was researching why my contact pictures weren't syncing. I just tried to go back and find where I read it but couldn't find it.
Personally, I've been using this app on the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.
Yeah, I read about Facebook not playing well with JB. I just use Friendcaster to sync contact photos then remembered to un sync it after it drained the battery not allowing the phone to sleep, if you don't un sync it syncs constantly.

Friendcaster doesn't have the option of how often it syncs? The app I recommended does. I have it set to once a day on wifi only. And you can specify how large you want the picture to be. High Quality photos on the N2 is amazing!!!
