Now browse Instagram feed on the web

Instagram Login

Instagram has finally launched the ability to view full feeds on the web i.e from your desktop. So far, users could login and view their own web profiles or by navigating to the specific url which contained the username of others. But now, you can view the feed like you can in the Instagram app on your mobile.

Users can now view, like and add comments to pictures of users you follow. Photos can be double clicked to like them or you can use the “heart” button too. Basically you can do everything that you do on the mobile app except upload photos. According to the blog post, this is because at its core Instagram is “about seeing and taking photos on-the-go.” You can shrink your browser down to a single column to replicate the view in your mobile app.

This change will be useful for people who have small displays and would like to view images in the full glory of their desktops or retina displays of their tablets. This will also make linking to any specific photo and sharing  it with others more easier.

Are you a Instagram user? Will you access the site from the desktop or your mobile app in the future? Let us know in the comments below.

Hangouts in Gmail now available in India

Hangouts in Gmail now available in India

Google had announced that users would be able to start Hangouts from within Gmail itself very soon. Well the feature has been rolled out to users in India today according to a blog post on the Google India blog.

Google Hangouts is one of the key features of Google Plus which allows up to 9 users to have a video conference. Not only that, you can watch and discuss YouTube videos at the same time, view and edit documents in collaboration with others, select games to play from the plethora of apps available and also apply funny effects to the video stream. Keeping in mind that a few places in India still don’t have very high speed internet, there is also an option to switch over to an ultra low bandwidth mode. Hangouts can also be scheduled with the help of Google Calendar.

You do need to have a Google Plus account to make use of Hangouts. This might be an attempt by Google to increase its adoption rate in India. You can launch Hangouts by clicking on the Hangout button at the top of your chat list. You might have to wait a while in case the feature has not been made available to your account yet.

Google Hangouts is a very powerful feature that can be used by individuals and business owners alike. Most Android phones come installed with Google services so there is no need for other video chat services like Skype. Are you excited about this new change in Gmail? Do share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
