Things I like. Now with Search button (and links have moved right to the bottom)
If I'd been blogging properly I'd have told you about this weeks ago, but anyway. Instagram is an iPhone-only camera app that's like Twitter in picture form, and the pictures are all beautiful because you can tweak them from within the app (above, a fete I went to at the weekend). Point and shoot, apply a filter if you like, and post directly to your social media account(s) - or set to private and share only with friends and family. You can follow people, so that you get this lovely stream of gorgeous images, or be all solitary if you prefer. Here's an article about it from The New York Times. Free from the App Store, here.
Hipstamatic, £1.19, is *the* most genius iPhone app. It's a pretend vintage camera - you can vary the lenses and types of film you use, which gives you hundreds of possible combos - and which basically means that everything you photograph looks beautiful.
Here are three badly-composed pics - a corner of my bed, my windowbox, the fruit and veg shop - I've taken in the past five minutes, to give you an idea. Also, it makes any human being you photograph look like a film star. Hours of fun, and at the moment I'm liking it much more than my super-posh real camera.
I write books, and things for The Sunday Times. But I wanted a place to stick other stuff I like, and Posterous is unbelievably easy to set up. So here we are. Yet another work-avoidance strategy by me. You can follow me on Twitter, too - I'm @indiaknight. I know, right? The interwebs: where the fun never ends.
