You already have an account on Instagram iPhone app and are sharing your imagery inputs on Pinterest. Now a new site claiming to club Instagram and Pinterest has emerged – so would you love or loathe this website. It is Pingram, seemingly a love child of Pinterest and Instagram.
But, it is no love child of these two. Rather this is a brainchild of the Italian web developer Gennaro Varriale. Varriale reportedly developed this mush up of Pinterest and Instagram within the span of seven hours on a leisure weekend. Why did he do it?
“I love Instagram and use it frequently, I also use Pinterest and I love collecting photos in boards. While I was searching [for] a way to pin my Instagram photo, I got this idea — A simple way to share Instagram photos with a clean interface, similar to Pinterest inside a vanity url page.”
– He answered.
But, is it just the name or the functions of that site Pingram that reflects fusion of Pinterest and Instagram?
Why do I need another site with the same layout as of Pinterest? Here are whys –
View Instagram photos
We can view our Instagram photos by signing in with this Pingram website.
Pin Instagram photos
Pingram site will only enable us to pin our photos, popular photos on Instagram and that are uploaded by other Pingram users. The developer has also disabled pinning on photos that users do not want to share with others to protect the privacy of their content. You can also view the photo feeds that you have followed and liked on Instagram.
Collect Instagram photos on Pinboard
We can pin photos of a Pingrammer (or a user of this Pingram website) and take it to the Pinboard on Pinterest.
Tweet from Pingram
Insert your Twitter widget and integrate your Twitter handle to your Pingram profile. Now you can see your last 6 tweets, retweet or reply to without leaving Pingram page.
Facebook from Pingram
“If I can tweet, then why not FB?” Of course, you can. You can also attach your Facebook profile to the Pringram account. Now you can show your Pingram activities on Facebook profile.
Hence, this Pinterest and Instagram mush up will let you carry on your social network activities right from the website. So, would love it or loathe? To find out and taste pinning of Instagram photos, type in Pingram.me and start pinning.
