Flickr has pushed the latest update to its revamped iPhone app, and the headline feature is a tweak to an existing one from the web: according to the changelog, tags are now hashtags, and can be tapped directly below each photo. While Flickr was one of of the first web services to popularize tags as a sorting and search mechanism, it seems Yahoo felt that legacy wasn’t enough for the photo-sharing service to keep pace; the change is in line with the Flickr app’s adoption of retro filters and @-symbol usernames. The word “hashtag” hasn’t extended to the main Flickr website itself, though, and existing tags from the web don’t show up as tappable hashtags in the app.

By adopting the language of the app-driven mobile web, the Flickr app…

And you're missing out on everything that doesn't fit into a square.

In art, there is always a lot of arguing — over what things mean, and what value they have, and what’s going to change, and who matters and who doesn't. But I will argue only this: that a lot of people showed up at a contemporary art fair last week and spent most of their energy focusing on getting cool Instagrams.

When you arrived at the Armory Show, New York City's largest annual contemporary art fair, you were immediately presented with a highly Instagrammable moment. There's a large art installation outside the fair — big planks of wood that spell out “I NEED TO START SEEING A THERAPIST.” And since the fair is located in convention center-esque piers along the edge of Manhattan the Hudson, the picture is pretty perfect, in Instagram terms. A semi-funny, very frank, and just slightly dark sentence spelled out in wood planks, against a backdrop of green grass, the river, and tall buildings. How could you not Instagram it?

So you did. And then there was a 20-minute plus wait just to buy a $ 30 ticket and get inside. So that you could go in and take more of the same photos, slap on a filter, and upload to Instagram.

The primary purpose of an art fair is for galleries from around the world to set up small exhibit booths and sell art, but most people don’t go to buy art — largely because the art is very expensive. At this particular fair, some works are priced in the hundreds of thousands, nearing a million. Most aren't as astronomical as that, but you would be hard pressed to find much for less than a few thousand dollars. Most people come to have a look around, and to get an idea of what's going on in the “art world.” There are two portions of the fair, modern (think Picasso and Matisse) and contemporary (think Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst and a lot of things written in neon), but the contemporary hall is twice as big and much more crowded. Naturally, the contemporary fair is more popular with the young, Instagramming crowd.

From an observer-on-the-scene perspective, it wasn't hard to tell, from just looking around qualitatively, that a large number of people were meandering around, looking for the best, brightest, quirkiest piece of art most likely to receive likes on a social network. For one, you could just look around: if a group of iPhone-wielding people was gathered in a certain area, you could expect it'd be because there was probably something worth uploading. One gallery from Beijing was exhibiting a set of grenades covered in fur and candy. The booth was particularly crowded. I even posted an Instagram of the fur grenade. Again, how could you not?

Question: How do you attract a key youth, mobile-first demographic to your social network and get them to increase engagement? Answer: Partner with an OEM handset manufacturer to create a powerful yet reasonably priced branded device with all your software already on board. Facebook looks to be readying a follow-up to the HTC Status, a mid-market smartphone it released with a dedicated Facebook button in 2011, and a new leak shows off its specs.

Over at Unwired View, noted leakster Evleaks claims to have obtained a recent list of HTC Facebook phone specs (from a source with a proven track record, unlike another recent Evleaks discovery), and they confirm earlier leaks on the same, with some improvements for the better. The HTC Facebook phone, codenamed the “Myst,” will reportedly have a 1.5GHz dual-core MSM8960 SoC processor from Qualcomm, along with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which isn’t expandable. It’ll have a 5 megapixel rear camera, and a 1.6 megapixel front-facing shooter, if the stats are correct, and will run Jelly Bean 4.1.2.

The screen won’t be overly massive at 4.3 inches, with 720p resolution and 320PPI pixel density, but it should be a good-looking device regardless, with near-Retina resolution. That’s good for showing off Facebook’s upcoming News Feed redesign, which is hitting mobile platforms as well as the desktop over the course of the coming months.

The HTC/Facebook collab should ship in the U.S. by sometime this spring, according to Unwired View, complete with Facebook software onboard, including the app for the network itself, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram. It’s not like the apps aren’t popular enough already, but a relatively inexpensive device with the software already onboard is a way for Facebook to target directly the market where it needs to start seeing more growth. The handset doesn’t seem to be too far below top-tier devices based on these specs (with the exception of that camera, which could use HTC’s Ultrapixel tech to still deliver solid photos), so if it’s priced right it could be a boon for both Facebook and HTC.

Nokia desperately wants Instagram for Windows Phone and it’s proving that this week. The Finnish company has just released #2InstaWithLove, a new Windows Phone app for Lumia devices that’s specifically designed to put pressure on the release of an Instagram app for Microsoft’s mobile operating system. “Many of you have asked when Instagram will be coming to Windows Phone, and the #2InstaWithLove app was created as a way for you to have your voice heard,” says Nokia.

The app simply lets users take a photo and it automatically applies a filter and turns the image into a polaroid-like result with the #2InstaWithLove moniker. “It’s all about showing Instagram just how passionate the Windows Phone community is,” claims Nokia, but it’s a very…

Instagram owes its unique identification to Polaroid’s OneStep cameras; it’s now time to return the favor. Socialmatic has actually signed a deal for a production, Polaroid-branded variation of its 2012 Socialmatic Camera idea you see above, which equates the mobile app’s retro icon to a real-world, instant-print shooter. While technical information are scarce, the agreement will see accessory maker C&An Advertising build and sell the design sometime in the first quarter of 2014. If the completed Polaroid work is anything like the concept, it can be even more than a novelty with its interchangeable lens system, 4.3-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, WiFi and 16GB of storage. We do not know if the camera will deliver with Android, but we hope it does– there would be an appropriately Xzibit-like component to running Instagram on top of an Instagram-shaped camera.
