But I need not worry any longer, just patiently wait to get Instagram features on Facebook or Blackberry (if that ever comes through).

How exactly will Zuck integrate Instagram on Facebook, whilst still allowing the photo sharing program to grow independently? Can’t wait to see!

Any thoughts?

I find this very exciting! What do you think?

For those of you not yet on the G+ train, you best get on it, it’s moving! I’m particularly concerned with my fellow South Africans, very few of us on G+. Mzansi, asambeni bo!

Hey, talking about new social media platforms and designs, what ever happened to Unthink? Anyone using it?

In an unexpected move, Facebook has acquired popular photo-sharing app Instagram for $1 billion in cash and shares.
