Get Charts & Graphs on Your Instagram Photos & Friends from Statigram

via Mashable! by Jennifer Van Grove on 6/16/11

Millions of hobby and professional photographers alike have been drawn to Instagram, amassing extensive collections of stylized photos. Statigram, a third-party Instagram application, gives these photo-sharing aficionados a bird's-eye view of their app activities.

Statigram connects to your Instagram account, analyzes your past behaviors alongside your connections' actions, and distills all this data into interesting metrics, charts and graphs.

The end result is a lovely looking and shareable profile page (as seen below) that sums up your Instagram history and identity.

Statigram includes the date of your first Instagram photo, total number of photos, counts and averages for all comments and "likes" on your photos, your top photos organized by "likes" and comments, a collection of the people you "like" most frequently, a days-of-the week breakdown of your activity and a few other interesting data points — like most used filters, for instance.

Statigram comes from France-based startup Tripnity, also makers of the Patchlife application for iPhone. So far, the relatively new application is proving quite popular with the Instagram crowd; it's already racked up more than 40,000 users around the world.

If you're one of the many who lament the iPhone's lack of a memory card slot, thanks to PhotoFast you can lament no more. Their new, uninspiringly named, i-FlashDrive features a standard USB connector on one end, allowing it to function as a regular old flash drive, and an iOS-friendly dock connector on the other, allowing to connect to iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches. When first connected you'll be prompted to download an accompanying app, which lets you then copy files to and from your iOS device, and even do things like backup your contacts list.

It's certainly an easy way to shuffle files around when you don't have access to the PC you usually sync with. And it also allows you to easily transfer files directly between two iOS devices, leaving a PC out of the equation completely. The PhotoFast i-FlashDrive will be available in July in 8, 16 and 32GB capacities ranging in price from ~$99 up to ~$192.

Send Facebook Photos as Pretty Postcards With Postagram for iPhone & Android

Send Facebook Photos as Pretty Postcards With Postagram for iPhone & Android

via Mashable! by Jennifer Van Grove on 6/9/11

Postagram, the app for sending Instagram photos as printed postcards, is out with version 2.0 of its iPhone application and is releasing an Android application Thursday.

The service has expanded to support printing high-quality glossy photos from your device's camera roll or your Facebook library. The enhancements eliminate the need for an Instagram account and make the application accessible to anyone on iPhone or Android.

Application users need only fire up Postagram 2.0 for iPhone or Postagram for Android, and connect to Facebook or Instagram (on iPhone only) to find and select photos sorted by type. Also new is the ability to send Postagrams to multiple recipients.

As usual, individual Postagrams cost $0.99 and are shipped with a glossy photo printed at 300-dpi that pops out of the accompanying bezel.

Postagram is a product of Sincerely, a startup co-founded by Matt Brezina and Bryan Kennedy, both formerly of Xobni. Sincerely's intent is to make it simple for mobile phone users to send real, printed photos using the snapshots on their device.

To celebrate the latest releases of Postagram, Sincerely is offering new registered Postagram users one free printed photo for the next 24 hours.
