Aug 2, 2012 4:40 PM   People across the globe are Instagramming right now. In Tokyo, a face, cat's legs, breakfast sandwich, and another face were just uploaded. How can you tell? This site lets you watch it all happen, instantaneously. This Is Now documents the unceasing, visually nauseating torrent of Instagram pics taken in New York, London, Sao Paolo, Tokyo, and Sydney—all of the geotagged, filtered snaps are plopped out in sequence, like some nostalgic conveyer belt. Faces, beaches, food, building, sky, sky, sky building, food, face—it's pretty much the same, regardless of continent. England is a little Olympics-centric for some reason right now, and Tokyo denizens seem to have a special proclivity for their own mugs, but hey—underneath it all, we're all predictable when it comes to digital photography. That's either affirming in a humanistic way, or kind of lame. Turn it on and stare. [Thanks, Breanna Hughes] View the original article here This post was made usi...

Jul 26, 2012 6:20 PM   Unable to search for your Twitter friends on Instagram? It seems Twitter has blocked off API access. Ugh. It applies to the latest version of Instagram (2.5.1), so you won't notice until you update . Regardless, that totally sucks. Perhaps this is Twitter's way of pushing back against Facebook's acquisition of the photo sharing network. And for the record, Twitter hasn't revoked the entire API, just this feature. The timing, however, is interesting with Facebook's first earnings report happening this afternoon.

Jul 24, 2012 12:30 AM   There are certain things we like at Gizmodo HQ. Instagram is one. Chocolate is another. Oh, if only they could somehow be combined without getting goo in your phone. Oh, wait, they can! Meet Cocoagraph. Vintage-style photos, printed on delicious chocolate squares. Yes, please? Cocoagraph is a Philadelphia-based confectionary with a rather unique twist: you send them your images, and they print them onto chocolate for you. You can choose to have it printed on milk, white, dark or organic dark chocolate. For the image you can use pretty much whatever you want, though they specifically mention that Instagram shots work well. There are a number of borders and styles to choose from, and you can add custom messages if you want. Like a printing studio, they'll send you a proof before they run your order, and voila, edible chocolate memories. You can even add dried strawberries to the mix. For $8.50 you get a 50 gram square of chocolate, or for $12 you get three, ...

Oh, I was just sitting here, reading some Dostoevsky, listening to this band I love but you probably haven't heard them but oh we must go catch them live some time, when my cat did this amazing thing, and I happened to snap off an Instagram photo in time. Right. Andy Pandy is pretty on the money with how that adorable shot actually happened. (Click the image to see the whole comic.)
