Wouldn't it be great? #1

So the first ever wouldn't it be great post (for me at least)

In these I'm going to write about what I think would be great if it happened hence the name wouldn't it be great.  I had recently blogged about Facebook acquiring hip mobile photo app Instagram and possibly going after face.  Now with the absorption of Instagram wouldn't it be great if Facebook made some sort of web application to allow us to upload photos to Instagram via our PC's pr Mac computers.  At the time of this writing there is currently no way to get your photos to Instagram via your computer.  Now almost everyone we know has a Facebook account and you can already sign into the Instagram mobile app via Facebook connect.  So now that Facebook owns Instagram and their API it should be easy to incorporate something like this online, I don't really care if it is tied into Facebook some how (I may regret that later).  This would benefit Facebook if it were tied in to their site by more traffic and add revenue (pretty much all Facebook cares about now).  So what do you guys think?  Wouldn't it be great if you could upload photos to Instagram via a computer?

Facebook to buy Face.com?


Face book is allegedly on the move again and may be purchasing Face.com now for a speculated $100M.  Facebook has recently made headline news with the IPO launch and the acquisition of the niche camera app Instagram.  Face.com is all about facial recognition and it is quite obvious why Zuckerburg may be interested in them.  Pictures on Facebook are a huge part of the social networking giants success and anything they can do to improve that will put more money in there pockets.  If this happens Facebook will greatly improve there facial recognition on the mobile side and will have completed its second buy out of a company.  I use Facebook quite heavily but do not upload many pictures and the ones I do are not tagged, but I can see this being a huge advantage to some users who do tag there photos.
