It tries to be "mobile tumblr" or maybe I just don't like it

I love it, except for when people try to turn it into tumblr, like the guy above me mentioned. But other than that it's awesome. I love it.

I don't see how Instagram can turn into tumblr... i mean, Instagram is a photo sharing site, and tumblr is a blogging site with more than pictures.
With that being said, yes, I use Instagram. I like it, it's cool to see what goes on in the lives of people I follow that they usually don't talk about face to face, and the filters add some uniqueness to photos. Especially like, storm clouds, and you add a filter, makes it look meaner and stuff. :P
I try not to do more than two pictures a day, because then it feels like i'm a photowhore.

I'm a photographer, not a hipster. :P
I honestly think that it's stupid.

Thank you, and all of those teen girls who think they are artists because they use it...

I agree with your points, but just because people take photos and use one of the effects doesn't mean they think they are pro photographers, thats like painting a wall in your house and thinking you're an artist.

And honestly, i've never used tumblr, but i've always thought it was a blogging site, and is kinda the same as twitter? idk

i like IG because even without the effects, you can see some good photos, and if you follow anyone that you are inspired by, maybe someone famous or a youtube celebrity or something, you can see what they're getting up to and stuff.

I think Instagram is great, and i've only actually had it like 2 days haha :P

All my friends who use Instagram mess around with each other and call it "Hipstergram". By no means I call myself a photographer just because I can use a phone camera and add a filter to it :P
I think of it as a simple photo sharing site, kinda like a twitter with pictures maybe? But yeah, real photographers use cameras. They take time and money to be a great photographer, and all that stuff. I might not be an expert photographer with my camera, but, hey, it helps kill time, and practice makes perfect :)

I much prefer deviantART over instagram.
I find it overrated.

Since I have a Windows Phone I don't 'technically' have one; however, the app I use, InstaCam, is linked with InstaGram and integrates with it so it pretty much is the same thing.

Instagram is for hipsters that want to take over the internet with their cruddy photos.

Also, what are your views on instagram? anyone dislike it for any reason? I actually do photography myself and personally I HATE it. I have no idea why but it just doesn't seem natural! I do Photoshop occassionally though but most of my photos are raw and best seen that way.
