iPhone App Turns Photos into Social Works of Art
Mashable October 12th, 2010

This post is part of Mashable’s Spark of Genius series, which highlights a unique feature of startups. The series is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark.

Name:  Instagram

Quick Pitch:  Instagram is a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures.

Genius Idea: Instagram speaks to the secret photographer inside us all by providing a nearly foolproof way to snap remarkable photos and share them with the world.

The iPhone application is free to use and is deceivingly simple in purpose and function — snap a photo, select a photo-enhancing filter and upload. It sounds like an install-it-and-forget-it application, but that couldn’t be further from the truth; Instagram nails the social aspect and engineers an ego-driven, must-revisit experience as compelling as Twitter’s.

BizSpark is a startup program that gives you three-year access to the latest Microsoft development tools, as well as connecting you to a nationwide network of investors and incubators. There are no upfront costs, so if your business is privately owned, less than three years old, and generates less than U.S.$1 million in annual revenue, you can sign up today.
