Instagram now available for Android

It's official.
Instagram is now available for the Android platform.
After years of waiting and countless apps developed to satisfy the Android users lust for the previously, solely iPhone OS app, Instagram is now available for android users.

It's no surprise that this happened only days after Instagram was acquired by facebook for $1 billion dollars; facebook has a huge android community and it only makes sense for them to make it available.

Mark Zuckerberg obviously thinks Instagram is worth a whole lot more than the half a billion dollars that Instagram was previously evaluated to be worth. I guess we'll see why soon enough.

Instagram is huge. Facebook is huge. This could just be another power-move by facebook to dominate the Social web.

I wonder what Google's response to this is going to be.

Facebook chat has gotten a major update

This is feature is a direct response from Facebook to Google's Google+.
A few weeks back, Google+ released a major feature that got me and a bunch of others excited; Google+ released a bunch of animated emoticons including Nyan Cat (a personal favorite of mine).

But this post has got nothing to do with Google+ ;)

Facebook just did something quite similar, but stepped it up a notch or two.

When next you are chatting on facebook with a friend, try this:

Type [[cocacola]] or [[fanta]]
After hitting enter (duh :D) fb chat displays a tiny emoticon of a fanta or cocacola bottle.

Okay, (yawn), boring, try this too:
In fb chat, find your friend's username (To do so, go to your friend's fb profile,then look in your address bar and copy either the numbers or username after facebook.com/) and type it inside some square brackets e.g. [[michaelsmith]].
Hopefully no one is lost, but here's a screenshot of what it looks like if done right.
Facebook Chat awesome update

Well that's it, go try it on your friends. ;)
