The popular mobile photo-sharing giant has finally launched a web presence. Users can now access their individual profiles by going to http://instagram.com/______ (username). The user interface looks very similar to a social network look and feel like their big brother, Facebook, which recently acquired Instagram for $300 million in cash and nearly 23 million Facebook shares putting them a final price of $740 million. Users are unable to upload any photos at the moment, but this feature could change in the near future. The web profiles seem to be built as more of a placeholder and discovery tool for users and retaining the mobile behavior for user generated content.
Rumor: With the growing success and dominance of Instagram, popular social sharing site Twitter has recently rumored about adding filters to its tweet functionalities.
