Instagram Makes Quick Beautiful Photos Social

A couple of my favorite apps on the iPhone currently are Hipstamatic and CameraBag. Like Instagram, both are photo apps that allow you to apply filters to pictures you take with the device. But both are fundamentally flawed in that neither has good sharing or discovery mechanisms. Put another way, neither are very social — at all. Instagram is. And it provides the same type of photo filter manipulation — and maybe even a little better.

Great preview by MG Siegler over at TechCrunch of an upcoming iPhone app to edit photos and share them. Since the mysterious removal of Camera+, I’m looking forward to this.
