Anyone else on Instagram?

I am not, also not too familier with it other than seeing them on Twitter from time to time.

have no idea how it works...want to provide a tutorial for us non technically challenged?

i'm on it.  @tdalton21  i like it, but i'm not sure if it will survive.  facebook bought them and immediately screwed up with their privacy policy.  that and it no longer plays well with Twitter.

thanks Pat...appreciated

I'll get it when the kids no longer think it's cool.

I quit using it because they changed their privacy policy to basically say they can take your photos and sell them to companies without telling you or paying you for it.

Sorry no thanks

I am leery of it given their evolving terms of use.  I don't know where they are now, but in December the policy was --

if you take a picture in a retail store (of your child modeling a great outfit, for example), they can sell the use of that picture of YOUR child to that retailer for use in an ad, without asking your permission, getting a model waiver or paying you for it.  That is just not OK in my book. I won't go near it.

I agree with Denise - This proposed FaceBook policy concerning use of Instagram images, in not legally wrong, has more than a bit of ethical taint. Unilateral declaration that what is yours is now mine is, um, illegal isn't it??! Just shows you how challenged some of these "free" online business models really are..

i think they backed off of that.  i believe that is still a Facebook policy, but there was so much backlash against instagram, i'm pretty sure they took that out of their policy.

Yeah, you are right. It looks like they reverted on 1/19/2013 (a week and a half ago) after having lost 42% of their daily traffic.  I am still leery given that it is an evolving situation. They will try to monetize the service again since ad revenue doesn't appear to be cutting it.
