Buys Instagram by disgruntled Facebook brought online jokes, but does not seem that users abandon the service plan
Sea of twittering humorous about buying Ainstgrm by Facebook Twitter last night flooded Israel. A very partial list:
- "In response to the purchase Ainstgrm by Facebook, Google people intend to purchase pocket camera plus $ 200 in 36 payments"
- "Ainstgrm - so basic product at a cost of one billion dollars! Not buy start - ups for a month"
- "The truth - Ainstgrm not sounds like a vanilla pudding?
And of course, how can rise without squeaks like:
- "Facebook has acquired the Ainstgrm ... they have successfully handle all talking about"
- "Facebook bought the Ainstgrm and now all the punks come."
But not all tweets were amused a huge deal. Also some funny tweets came hostility to the idea of the transaction, anguished feeling Shainstgrm did fund the expense of those who merely wanted to take pictures and upload a social network is relatively small and intimate. "Hipsters, what Shainstgrm sold up for it you and your cats," wrote a veteran Gadi Shimshon Internet. "Remember the good old days Bainstgrm, when we were like a little underground, raise Keluzafim of seafood risotto with filter Early - Bird or Hudson? How everything became her business," added the journalist and writer Amir Ben - David. Another flowing concluded: "Finally, the iPhone will be able to stop down on the Android and unite against the common enemy."
No more venting

Is chirps like that there is more that venting? If so - at least on the face is hard to see this on the surface. Israeli network responses at sea was very difficult to have user declares that he really going to stop using Bainstgrm. Such statements can be found surfers abroad - but not a great achievement: community users of more than 30 million people, even if a quarter percentage will decide to leave, and a quarter of those who publicly declare that the network - this will be reflected in a misleading of the mass desertion.
So even chirps like "Facebook bought the Ainstgrm? Okay, time to delete" and "msir the Ainstgrm "should be taken with limited liability. Like other social networks - Bainstgrm have an addictive element. As is Facebook - and here it can be assumed (or at least guess) that users will complain and maybe even threaten - but remain loyal to the service users has become their habit so common.

"Much more complicated and threatening"
Illusion of being a photographer. Ricky Cohen
Even the wife of the veteran communities Ricky Cohen has not seen in its feed people who threaten to disconnect. Last night, just hours after purchase advertising, raised sharp in her blog post on "living room" in which she conducts. "This is a game, my fellow addicts expensive, documenting obsessed," she wrote. "We take this deal coyote, do not get Mark Zuckerberg percent that we gain the feeling that someone is interested in our life, transmitted tirelessly through the lens of the iPhone, and covered with attractive courtesy Ainstgrm filter, and even bothered to like them away and Lake clickable touch screen ... it is a reality Hifrit and prickly, reminding us again how to manipulate us new entertainment entities, malicious understanding what motivates us, and one great interest that motivates them ... I have a lot of work tonight, delete the pictures that I wanted to start sharing with friends from Facebook, who are likely to access free Lainstgrm ".
Cohen says she's worried that the pictures taken and distributed only to members Bainstgrm, Facebook finally arrive. "This merger is a step too far for me. It is becoming much more complicated and daunting. I'm afraid that without my knowledge, my pictures will be open also on Facebook, where I have about 2,700 members. Do not know if they opened it automatically, but it is becoming greedy much to my life. Ainstgrm was very cute, because I made sure to name the number of members is very low. I unlocked, and confirmed only people I at least some sales. not confirmed the name anonymous.'s the only place I upload pictures of my children. Now I will begin to exercise discretion with much more thought. "
- Any chance you leave the service?
Cohen: "No. I like to photograph all sorts of nonsense, such as trees and streets and that the silly fun - be a photographer make-believe, illusion. Filters Bainstgrm not really give you a quality of a photographer or artist but I enjoy it, then continue to do that".
And what can make those who do Shainstgrm have decided to do without him from now on? Many applications for iPhone and Android offer very similar service offered by Instagram. They did not provide a true social network as a vibrant billionth app, but anyone interested in photography, filters and upload to Facebook and Twitter - will easily be substituted by:
Hipstamatic is actually an application before Lainstgrm. She has been around from 2009 and is considered good and relatively popular. Also where you will find a series of filters which you could move the images and the ability to share them on social networks.
Application Pudding.to trying hard to be Ainstgrm - that is to introduce elements of the photography social network. Is not satisfied with filters and cooperation on Facebook / Twitter, but also lets you specify what kind of mood you're in when you shoot admire your work, and even specify which song you think fits the picture soundtrack.
Too discreet for sharing photos on social networks? FilterMania iPhone application gives you the filters - but not the connections up and Co.. Ideal for just shoot and edit - without having to show the whole world. Incidentally, the only social network can be shared with the pictures she Ainstgrm.
Other similar applications: picplz, Lightbox, Vignette and FxCamera.
But what about the pictures already brought up Lainstgrm?
You can download them to your computer. Instaport.Me service will allow you to do so easily: All you need do is enter the website, link your account Haynstgrm push of a button, and choose which images you want to download - all your pictures, your recent photos or pictures of other users, they did "like" .
