Better picture quality than instagram

The tag feature works perfect

Comments work how they should

Facebook Camera is similar to Instagram but it isnt Instagram. The new photo sharing app seems to be suited for the “Facebook” crowd. They want something like Instagram but arent interested in becoming familiar with another social network.

Functionally speaking this is a huge step for Facebook’s mobile reputation. The comments, tagging, and sharing works just ask you would expect!

With the proliferation of digital media, commoditization of media, content, and inventory will inevitably follow. In order to ensure yields remain high and campaigns have their intended effects, it is important to continually evolve and innovate in strategy, creative, pricing, and format. The above video was a first for FT.com, an out-of-banner Homepage Roadblock that had high impact and was specific in it’s design for our media property.

“When they look back at this era, Internet historians will mark Facebook’s Instagram acquisition as the symbolic moment when the Great Shift was confirmed. Significantly, it also came soon after Steve Jobs’ death. The device that Jobs created had, within the space of five years, allowed a 551-day-old company with 14 employees to become worth $1 billion. On April 9, 2012, Web 2.0 lost its mantle as the most important Internet paradigm. We are now starting the Age of Mobile.”
