Can anyone explain what this is? I see a mostly empty page with two vertical scroll bars and the texts "No Photos..." and "Click on the map or use the search". No map and no indication what I can search for.

You have to share your location, then it shows you Instagram photos taken in your area as little Instagram icons on the map, and the photos in a scroll view on the right.

This app was created Mike Adams, graduate of Hack Reactor dev bootcamp 12 week course in San Francisco, CA. http://www.quora.com/Web-Development/What-are-the-most-impre...

"My My Hack Reactor classmate Mike Adams' app Instahood is pretty cool. It shows recent Instagram photos from any location you choose. When you first open it, you see photos at your current location. Then you can look at pictures wherever else you want, either by clicking somewhere on the map or by searching for a place (with auto-complete!)

He used Meteor (web framework), the Google Maps API, and the Instagram API."

Either share location or nobody takes instagram pictures near you. Go in US or Canada to see live feeds of hot chicks

Awesome, thanks everyone! I built it in about 3 days for a personal project @hackreactor (my first webapp from scratch) and had no idea it was on the front page of HN until just now! haha. Will totally work on cleaning up the interface a bit tonight, wasn't quite prepared for this to see thousands of eyes... haha. Thanks for the comments/suggestions, really appreciate it and totally welcome any more thoughts/bugs/feature requests.

Pull requests are very welcome and appreciated! https://github.com/michaelglenadams/Instahood

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah, I'm wondering why this is on Meteor. Is it real-time?

Instahood doesn't seem to be real-time

It's on meteor, but not really leveraging any of the most powerful features of meteor. I also built it in node but it's not deployed. It is indeed not real-time yet, will get that plugged in soon. Thanks for the comments!

http://RiteTag.com lets you search words to get Twitter, G+, and yes, Instagram tags that reach topic-following people, those interested in your blog posts, videos, artwork, photographs, and even offers in eBay and Amazon, shows you the when, who, how many times, and what in the content that has been tagged with a tag related to your query, and lets you do a few more things as well. RiteTag is not an SEO tool, its a SSO tool: for optimizing your content in social media to reach more, with relevancy. Some tools do tag illustration: stats. RiteTag is a tool for discovering reaching tags, per network (they vary per network) and learn about tags as well. Its not about optimizingtweets and other content to be seen by those not following you, but following and searching for your tagged topics. Many more networks with topic hashtagging are in the plans for integration, as our first users tell us how they need to tag their photos, images, and goods better to get seen more, and thus sell more. Rather than rush to add every social network with an open API, we focus on relevancy and honing the results in the RiteTag Reports.
