Most of you have heard of Instragram (and are probably using it), but those of you have not, as a photographer who has an iPhone, I HIGHLY recommend you start to use it. Why? Not merely because it has a few nice, trendy filters, but because there's an immediacy and community that you can't quite replicate with other photo websites (i.e., Flickr).
The photos aren't technically spectacular, because most (though, some people obviously cheat) are taken with a cellphone camera, but they mirror the simplicity of Twitter and have a ability to share, communicate and have an intimacy that most other social media "apps" don't have. The only downside is the lack of any real web presence and web interface for users or visitors — there are no means of uploading, editing, sharing or using the service (aside from viewing a photo from a link) on the web site iteself (like other competitors like Twitpic, etc have)
Go. Get it. You'll love it (you can find me by searching for "wiseacre")
