Alternative for Instagram on Android and iOS

Posted by Boffill Thursday, December 20, 2012

Instagram have recently spooked plenty of its users because of the changes on their terms of services. I don't own an Android or iOS powered devices and I haven't read Instagram's changes on their terms of service. But for the sake of the people who wanted to use a different service with filters and photo editing options, I am going to list some of the available applications online that you guys can install on your devices as an alternative to Instagram. For the information of everybody, Kevin Systrom, the chief executive and co-founder of Instagram announced that users still own the rights of their photos and the photos itself, users will have the same amount of privacy they experienced even before the terms of service has been change and he made sure that the photos uploaded by the users on Instagram will not be seen in any advertisement. The new agreement will take effect on January 16, 2013.


Before you shift to a different service, I suggest you make a backup of your photos first by downloading them or checking on Instaport or Instarchive. Both services link to the user's Instagram account and will be giving them an option to download a compact file of their photos.

A lot of services are available online that provide the same aspect as Instagram. Yahoo's Flickr can let you share your photos to your close network and add filter on it. Google's Snapseed has a broad editing options that includes filter before you can share it to Google+, Twitter and Facebook. Hipstamatic, Pixlr-o-matic and Camera+ are available online and can be used to both iOS and Android devices. The latter 3 are all independent application and has an Instagram aspect. For all Nokia Symbian users, since the platform is  dying, these applications won't be available for download but still, we can have an Instagram-like application installed in our mobile phone, it's called Molome. Molome is also available for iOS, Blackberry, Android, Windows and Symbian.

 Just to inform you all that if you would delete your Instagram account, there's no way for you to reactivate it meaning all your connections and photos will be gone.

Posted by Boffill Wednesday, December 19, 2012

For quite a long time, I have been following a lot of Funny Twitter Accounts that tickles me a lot every time I'm online. I will be posting the list of the accounts that you can follow and some quotes from them that I have gathered that are really funny. Some may be offended because of the sarcasm but they simply tweet the truth about our daily life.


List of funny twitter accounts to follow:
• Ghetto Children - I am a teacher in a urban elementary. I simple write down what the kids say on a daily basis.
• Awkward  Jim - Awkward illegitimate son of Willy Ferrel.
• Not Chuck Norris - Chuck Norris Jokes
• *TED
• *Sarcasam

Note: * are my highly recommended accounts.

Twitter Quotes Funny from the accounts listed above:

• Strangers think I'm quiet, my friends think I'm outgoing, but my best friends know I'm insane!

• If you ask me to hold your drink, I will drink it.

• That awkward moment, when people ask: Are you a couple? and you look at each other and wait who's going to answer first.

• Big girls don't cry. (They eat)

• I’m not flirting .. I’m just being extra nice to someone who is extra attractive.

• According to chain messages, I shouldve died 18 times, been raped twice, been cut 10 times. Either chain messages are fake, or I'm Superman.

• Dora: Say map. Me: *eating cereal* Map. Boots: Louder! Me: *knocks cereal off table* FUCKING MAP!

• Ladies, if you love a man, set him free. If he comes back he's yours forever.. If he doesn't then the new chick probably does anal.

• I've always wanted to go into an elevator full of strangers and say "I bet you're wondering why I've gathered you all here today."

My Twitter Has Been Hacked!

Posted by Boffill Sunday, July 24, 2011
Last time I logged in to my account at Twitter was last week. I am not really fond of twitting twits to my Twitter friends but I always value my account. I can contact my cousins and friends thru twitter at times especially when they are not logged in to their Facebook account. This morning, when I logged in to Twitter, I noticed that the spams I get from last week were still there. I first noticed this spam when some of my friends at Facebook were complaining about it. By the way, my Twitter and Facebook were linked to each other. I checked on it and it was there, I checked the apps and websites that have an access to my Twitter and none of them were suspicious. I don’t really know what’s happening now, I tried to check on the Help page of Twitter but have not gotten any good result. Now, I’m frustrated about it because it’s spamming my account and I’ll have to unlink my Facebook and Twitter so that my Facebook won’t get affected. I still need some help about it. I hope this one will be fixed soon!
