Looking around my smallish hometown area, I'm wondering if social workers and/or police make use of tools like this. I'm not advocating either way, but there's lots of young people essentially publicly confessing to crimes (pictures of them vandalizing, screenshots of text messages about planning to steal clothes from the mall, and plenty of teenage angst). I feel a bit creepy for looking at their pictures, but also shocked they're so revealing to the public. How clear does instagram make it that your photos are public? Is it ignorance or apathy on the part of the teens?

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.

We made this a few years ago - it's a bit janky http://www.instabam.com , it's a bit of a experiment of trying to make the iPhone app into a web app. If you want a free app to find Instagram pics nearby or on Google maps try Instabam https://itunes.apple.com/md/app/instabam!-explore-instagram/... It was my first ever spare time app and was a lot of fun, it was doing quite well until Apple changed the App Store design…

The meteor-based app seems to be speedier ... maybe because of the way it's handling server-client data relationship better?

Mike's classmate here. It was a pretty awesome presentation he gave on Friday and it was great seeing how quickly everyone's work came together during out personal projects sprint.

Some of us worked on meteor, one did a meteor package, several worked on node, one or two were on rails, mine was coffee and backbone on parse. I love being at Hack Reactor! Building cooler and cooler stuff every week is downright addictive.

If anybody's coming to the next Meteor devshop event, come by and say hi!

Another photosharing website with a focus on geo-location sharing of photos is called Snapr

Check it out here: http://sna.pr/

They've also got a developers section with a focus on creating your own sites using their infrastructure. http://developers.sna.pr/

(I'm not affiliated with sna.pr in anyway except for sitting next to one of the developers from time to time in a co-working space)
