Instagram (www.instragram.com) is a mobile application that allows users to take photos, apply filters to those photos, and share them with their friends. (See Figure 17-10.) Instagram has a very simple Facebook integration. It has two basic integration points, which have made the application quite popular:
- Auto-add Facebook friends: On Instagram, users are prompted to add their friends through Facebook friends that Instagram has detected through Graph API are already using Instagram. These friends' updates then get shown in each user's news feed on the Instagram application.
- Publish to Facebook: When you publish a new photo, you can also post this to Facebook. This posts the photo in your news feed on Facebook, with a link back to Instagram to view the bigger version of the picture.
Although they are very simple, these two features have made Instagram a big hit, and it's one of the top iPhone applications in the iTunes App Store. As you can see, you can still integrate very simple Facebook features and be successful.
Figure 17-10: Instagram allows you to share any of your photos to Facebook.
