Instagram Cracks Down On Connected Apps Using “Insta” And “Gram” [http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/19/instagram-cracks-down-on-co...]


How on Earth can they try and own "gram"?

On it's own it is is a standard unit of measurement, but as a suffix is considered standard in English since time immemorial to reflect anything "written or drawn", it features in the word "telegram", and can be traced as a suffix back to ancient Greece.

I barely understand them trying to protect "insta" considering they are using Kodak's trademark there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instamatic

But the suffix "gram"? Their lawyers may have found some powder that came in such measurements.


We've had the name since 2011... :-)


"A CLUTTER FREE ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUR PHOTOS TOO SHINE" indeed...

Grids can get pretty cluttered, and by "the web" they must mean "not mobile" as the site is a mess on my phone.


We'll release the responsive part of the site as a featured release due to the fact that Instagram is actually quite good at their mobile presence :-)


Pinstagram?!?
