Real-time Instagram Photos! New Amazing Website ”This Is Now” Shows Us the World on Our Phones!

As we know, Instagram users have been up to 80 million. The important reason for its popularity is that we can share our photos online and keep up with our friends’ pictures. But now we can take a closer and real-time look into the world around us on our phones.

A new website called This Is Now uses the Instagram API to display real-time streams of public images taken in five cities around the world, including London, New York, Sydney, Tokyo to Sao Paulo in Brazil. Only with our phones, you can watch the composed and filtered Instagram photos of detailed lives in New York and London.

By clicking the city we are interested in such as London, we will be instantly immersed in a beautiful real-time visualization of Instagram photos posted in London.

Clicking "What is this" will tell us how many photos of London have been seen and clicked in the minute.

If we click on any photo, we'll be sent to see the full version at Instagram.com, including who uploaded it and the comments people are making about it. After logining in, we can also follow the person right then and there.

It would be perfect if they had some kind of controlling for either timing or perspective.

I believe everyone worldwide is very excited that The 2012 London Olympics is just around the corner. Are you sure you are ready? Do you know the Motto of the 2012 London, and its unique features? How about the famous competition and top players in swimming? Yes! We still need to review some common sense or amazing facts about Olympics, otherwise someone besides you will poke fun at you while watching games! Here is one wonderful Apple app I suggested to make it up for Olympics.

You can imagine that how glad and proud of yourself you are because you know more trivia than your friends. The app “London 2012 Game” collects thousands of events and files covering all the summer Olympic Games for us. In other words, you can challenge thousands of Olympic-focused questions! If you are tired to play this app alone, you could save your best records and share on Facebook to invite your friends compete with you. At the beginning, you will find you know little about Summer Olympics, but one week later, you will become an Olympics encyclopedia.

By the way, if you realize some events and players are interesting and useful for you and your friends and neighbors. How about searching more details such as photos and videos on line, and making PowerPoint presentations according to different themes. That is also a good idea sharing online especially when you convert your PPT to video.
