The Not-So-Subtle Differences Between Instagram on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone
Posted in: Today's Chili
Instagram finally launched on Windows Phone this morning, which means the popular photo-sharing app is now available on every major mobile platform. Don’t expect a uniform experience though. Turns out, there are some big differences between the iOS, Android, and …

A few weeks ago I was talking to someone who had said what a pain it was to manage their iPhone and iPad photos in bulk. They told me that there were about 20 pictures they took that didn’t turn out well, and in order to remove them from their phone they had to go through and delete them one-by-one. Ouch! I could see how that would be frustrating, but there is a much simpler way that not many people seem to know about. Here’s what you need to do:
- Open the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the arrow in the upper-right corner of the screen.
- Most people I’ve talked to realize you can select multiple photos by tapping on them individually from this screen, but the cool thing is that you can tap and hold on the first photo you want to select and then slide your fingers across all of the photos you want to share/copy/delete. Unfortunately the screen won’t scroll as your finger reaches an edge, but this trick should still ease the process of selecting a lot of photos.
- Tap the Share, Copy, or Delete button depending on which operation you want to do.
Note: You can repeat Step 3 to deselect items you didn’t mean to select.
So the key things you need to remember once you enter the selection screen is to tap, hold, and slide. From there you can send the photos through Email or MMS (limited to 5 photos at a time), copy them to the clipboard, print them, or delete them from your iOS device.

A picture is worth a thousand words and having 10,000 Instagram followers is apparently worth more than $150. At the recently opened 1888 Hotel in Sydney, Australia guests can stay one night for free if they contact the media department to show their social media mettle and follow the hotel on Instagram, of course.

Ever since Instagram had its terms of service hullabaloo, many people have been looking at different photo-sharing apps in order to fill the void in their app life. Lifeclip just released the latest version of their photo app.
Lifeclip version 3 allows people to choose between a private or public account. You can even setup a private library that’s uncensored. There are many different filters and adjustments so that you can edit your shots. You can import photos from other apps, and you can push your photos to Instagram and Twitter instantly. There’s full hashtag support and a reclip function that sounds like the reblog function of Tumblr.
Lifeclip assures that the photos that you upload belong to you and they will never advertise on your pictures, which is good because that’s not what all TOS say.

Instagram rolling out web profiles, sepia toning the world’s browsers one account at a time
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Instagram is getting ready to open up its collection of filtered images to the web. The photosharing service announced via blog post that it’s going to be rolling out web profiles over the next few days, bringing profile photos, bios and shared images to easily navigable URLs at instagram.com/[username]. If you have photos set to private, you’ll still get a profile, but those images won’t be shared with the web at large. The site also notes that web uploading isn’t currently enabled, seeing as how it’s always been focused on mobile devices. If you don’t have a page yet, you should be good to go within the week. In the meantime, you can check out other profiles in Instagram at the source link below.

Microsoft is already creating a safe, fenced-off area in Windows Phone 8 through Kids Corner, but it’s expanding that to include nearly everyone through Rooms. A rough parallel to Groupme, Rooms lets families, friends or companies share calendars, chats, notes and photos without letting any prying eyes get a peek. And if others aren’t following the Windows Phone way, they can still view some of the content from another platform. There’s no doubt that Microsoft really hopes its communal addition is a way to squeak out an extra phone sale or two from those who like to stick together.

Canon launches Project 1709: a strangely named photo service with deep Facebook hooks
Posted in: Today's Chili 
A prerequisite for launching a cloud storage solution is a strange name, we understand that much. But where Picasa, Flickr and Box all at least hint at their intentions, Canon’s new photo service sounds more like a plot device from Lost than an online repository for your snapshots. Project 1709 is actually named for the beta launch date (today, September 17th) and looks to take on the big players in the field with a slick UI and integration with social networks. The tiled design puts all your uploaded images in an easy to navigate and glanceable layout, with a focus on organization. Pics can be filtered based on tags you add, date or locations pulled from the EXIF data. All the camera’s settings are also exposed, allowing you to figure out how exactly you captured each shot. There’s even deep Facebook integration that makes it easy to not only publish photos to your profile, but pull them in from the social network along with comments. You can sign up at the source link, or simply learn more from the gallery and PR below.
