I saw this giant globe in a friend’s photo on Instagram. When I tapped the location, I saw a number of photos various users took of the same thing within the last few minutes. The same thing could just as easily happen on Twitter or any number of other services, but at the moment lots of people who have iPhones are using Instagram (and this is Raleigh, not SF or NY). It’s kind of cool. Things happening in real time, in pictures. The particular app doesn’t matter so much, just that many people with smartphones are posting public geotagged photos. Seems many more people would want to participate this way, rather than through text.
