Behold the world's first crowdsourced movie-poster campaign created through Instagram! It's the pinnacle of creative achievement! Sigh … humankind's obsession with the ubiquitous photo app continues, this time in Canada, where ad agency Taxi teamed with the Instagramers Montreal collective to create 87 posters promoting the new film J'Espère Que Tu Vas Bien, which roughly translates to Instagram Isn't So Great. Actually, it means I Hope You're Well, and the number of posters corresponds to the 87-minute running time of the movie, an experimental piece-entirely improvised, with no script written beforehand-that follows two friends as they saunter around Montreal. The Instagramers walked for 87 minutes, visiting locations used in the film, and submitted more than 600 shots all told.

"800,000 Instagrams were tagged [Hurricane] #Sandy, and Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom thinks that makes it the most digitally captured event in history. But "how do we mine all these photos, make sense of them so you can consume the most interesting photos about Sandy?" he asked today at GigaOm's RoadMap conference. His conclusion was "We're going to need to be a big data company." Systrom says Instagram's focused is on "making meaning of all the data coming in, and improving the experience of curating." For example, he said that there were only 85,000 #SuperBowl Instagrams, compared to the 800,000 #SandyGram. People can't consume 800,000 photos, but they still want to pull valuable information from them."

When Instagram users @mention a social contact and then tweet the photo, Instagram will automatically translate the user's Instagram handle to his or her Twitter handle.

Instagram had an average of 7.3 million daily active users - or DAUs, in Facebook parlance. That tops of Twitter's 6.868 million DAUs over the same period of time, according to the report.
