This applies to past photos they have taken as well.

Since Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram was made final back in September 2012, the app has undergone several changes including the addition of new filters and a fully functioning web version.

With each update, the app continues to improve. Tagging photos will undoubtedly add a great deal of value to the user experience, making the popular photo app even better than it already was.

When sharing photos to Twitter, tagged individuals in the Instagram photo will also receive an at-mention (@username) seamlessly. I have yet to see how mentions work when the photo is shared to Facebook, but I would assume it will mention the person by their Facebook account. Afterall, Facebook does own Instagram now.

Instagram wrote a more detailed blog post about the latest update which includes a really great video that depicts people tagging their friends and family in real life situations.

Check it out below.

If you haven’t downloaded the number one photo app on the market, get to it. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

How about next time you get the urge to say, “Google it,” instead, comeback with “Gizoogle it.”

Gizoogle is a website that translates the text from a webpage into gangsta lingo. Go to gizoogle.net and past the URL of the webpage you want to translate; then hit the “Gizoogle Dis Shiznit” button to begin the transcription.

I can promise you, the results you get back will not provide any solutions to your questions, but they will provide plenty of laughter.

For most hilarious results, start by Gizoogling your company bio. Below is my personal bio on my company’s website before and after the Gizoogle machine translation.

Before Gizoogle

Ben believes that if you don’t have an online presence, you don’t exist.

He loves social media and the web like Brick from Anchorman loves lamps. Using these channels to strengthen his personal brand and our clients’ brands is more than just a hobby, it’s a passion.

Ben enjoys coffee, music, food and traveling. His favorite social media site is foursquare, which he uses to check-in everywhere.

Now, with the iPhone’s built-in function allowing for 180 degree panoramic photos, many third party apps are wondering about their future, and whether or not iPhoneographers will still find their apps relevant.

I’m here to tell you, there are still other apps with relevance; one of them being 360 Panorama, an app that goes beyond the 180 degree limitation of the iPhone, allowing for full 360 degree panoramic views.

Benefits of 360 Panorama are many. One, you can easily share them across social platforms and email. But most importantly, you get a fullscreen view of the panorama with the ability to rotate left and right with your mouse as you please.

See example shots that I have personally taken with 360 Panorama by clicking the links below.

>> Mount Rushmore National Memorial

>> Lake Pactola in the Black Hills of South Dakota

>> Badlands National Park

With iOS camera, your panoramic shot is compressed into a flat image. If all you need to do is add a little dimension to your photo, then iOS can certainly get the job done. See an example taken by JL Beer of Sioux Falls. Keep in mind, with 360 Panormama app, you also have the ability to take less than 360 degree images and flatten them. So really, you don’t need to mess around with the iOS 6 camera feature at all. That is, unless you don’t want to pay for “the real deal,” 360 Panorma app.

360 Panorama is available on iOS and Android devices. Sure, it’s not free. But really, what’s a 99 cent purchase to you, anyways? I can promise, if take as many photos with your camera as I do, that it’s worth the investment.

Generally speaking, runners will go handsfree as much as possible—especially when they don’t have the support of a treadmill to place their phones on.

A striking idea occurred to me on a recent 13.2 mile run. On this unseasonably warm winter day, I was going for distance, not speed. With all that time to focus on form and breathing, I also conjured up a way that RunKeeper could better integrate with Foursquare.

Foursquare and RunKeeper already play nicely together. In fact, not that long ago, RunKeeper partnered with Foursquare to come out with a couple badges. You can link up your Foursquare account with RunKeeper, just like the application lets you do with Facebook and Twitter.

My point is that the Foursquare integration already exists.

I think RunKeeper would be doing a huge service to their Foursquare-addicted users if they allowed a walker, runner or biker to map their routes beforehand, then provide turn-by-turn audible directions and auto Foursquare check-ins as the person arrives at certain locations along the course.

Download the RunKeeper background for your smartphone!

I am the type of person who checks in everywhere I go. Not that it’s necessary—it’s just something I do. Mapping routes would give people, like me, a defined running path.

Oftentimes, I don’t plan my route. I just go. Creating a route in advance, and knowing exactly how many miles that route is, would definitely help me stick to a mileage plan.

Think about it, RunKeeper. (Because I assume they read my blog.) No need to thank me later!

The Common Squirrel provides a comedic break from my often cluttered feed which is usually chalked full of tweets from industry leaders, news outlets and brands.

All that information can be a lot to process at times. That’s why, for me, following a fun account like the Common Squirrel comes as a great relief.

I have always been one to use Twitter as a means for information gathering. Typically it’s my go-to source for the latest news, not only in South Dakota, but across the globe.

As mindless as the Common Squirrel may seem, when stress from the inevitable information overload sets in, I can always count on it, and other light hearted accounts, to provide me with a much needed laugh.
