Instagram has launched a web version of the user's tape

We all remember that not so long ago Instagram made its first step towards a wide audience by opening access to the profiles of its users on its own website. Today, the company announced in its blog that it is launching a new functionality - a web version of a custom feed.

Visually, the tape looks similar to the mobile applications of this social network. This is a vertical stream of photos posted by your friends, sorted in chronological order in descending order. Under each photo there is a block with information about users who liked this photo, comments to it, as well as a field for composing one’s own opinion.

This innovation makes us even closer to the social network. Especially the novelty will appeal to those who use smartphones for which there is no official client (for example, Windows Phone or Blackberry). Perhaps in this way, the company is gradually building up a base for full integration with Facebook, or it is taking gradual steps to open a full-fledged web client with the ability to upload and process photos directly in the browser. Wait and see.
