Instagram

Photo and video apps have surpassed music as the number one Internet activity in terms of time spent in minutes (according to this Flurry research study).  They are the fastest growing App category with 89% growth between July 2011 and March 2012.

Instagram is a totally free app available for both Apple OS and Google Android phones which you can obtain from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Use it to take photos using your smart phone – and then add filters to make them unique.

Instagram is compatible with Facebook, Twitter and Flickr –
