Fans help Starbucks score with Instagram as mobile app takes off | The Wall Blog

http://wallblog.co.uk/2011/03/18/social-fans-help-starbucks-succeed-with-instagram/ Unless you’ve been living under that proverbial rock for the last six months (and perhaps even if you have), you’ll no doubt be aware of the phenomenon that is Instagram. For the rock-dwellers amongst you, Instagram is a smartphone app that allows users to share photos with each other, in a ‘stream’ fairly akin to Twitter. Its variety of vintage filters allows users a level of creativity too, which is proving highly popular (especially amongst the denizens of Hoxton). Instagram could easily be the latest in a long line of social media ‘fads’ that are picked up and dropped a few weeks later by promiscuous digital aficionados, but substantial growth figures seem to suggest otherwise. The app now has over two million users, to which it is adding 130,000 every week. 3.6 million weekly photo uploads are also adding credence to its viability as something that’s ‘here to stay’. So the question is, how can marketers claim a slice of this rather lucrative social media pie?

Yobongo - Chat with people nearby

A year ago Yobongo launched to help people connect and communicate more efficiently on iPhone. Since then, people have shared important moments of their lives, made new friendships, and kept in touch. From day one we set out to build a product and experience that was uniquely built for mobile - we've continually pushed to make Yobongo a polished, fast, and native experience. It has been a whirlwind year and a half. It began with the two of us hacking away at coffee shops, then joining forces with our incredible investors and all along building a team of the most talented product builders out there. Today, we are excited to start a new chapter in helping people communicate.
