Never before has mobile photo sharing become this hip, this cool, this fast.
We’ve been through it over and over since the dawn of social media. Taking a photo using a camera, uploading it by bluetooth, wire or wireless transfers, and then sharing it to people who might want to see it.
Instagram, Picplz, and Path have definitely redefined taking photos on mobile phones.
