New Instagram Live Streaming Service

There is a new service out there that live streams Instagram photographs taken by its users.  The service is called This is Now and it lets you pick one of five major cities (which are New York, Sao Paolo, London, Tokyo, or Sydney) in which it will stream live photographs from.  The photographs will be streamed from the Instagram users in posting their pictures in that particular area due to it using Instagram’s API to access the photos. The people behind the service are Marcio Puga, Mauricio Massaia and Per Thoresson.  The concept is similar to that of Twitter, but only with pictures.  Other options that the service has are it telling the time of the specific city, it offering a “what’s this” link at the top of each live stream to give you a general description about each city and how long the average viewer views it.  If you want to go check out this service click on the link.
