Instagram Finally Launches Web Profiles So You Can Browse People's Photos


Instagram has always been a fun way to share photos with your friends, but its biggest annoyance was that you could only view it on your phone. This week, Instagram is finally rolling out web profiles so you can connect browse people's photos right from your computer.

While there were a lot of other unofficial Instagram profiles for the web, Instagram's finally released their own, and it's quite pretty. You have a Facebook-like "cover photo" above your profile photo, but the cover photo is actually a rotating collage of your pictures. You can then scroll down to see your entire library of photos, including likes and comments. It's simple, but exactly the kind of thing Instagram was missing.

The new profiles are rolling out gradually, so if you don't see it yet, check back throughout the week and you should see your profile pop up at http://instagram.com/yourusername. Hit the link below to read more.
