Okay so, we can either do our article on racism, abortion, mental illness, and sexual harrassment. Here's the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_controversial_issues#Media.2F_Culture CCTSafiaS (talk) 21:10, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

I think abortion would be the best choice because it seems to be the most controversial topic out of the bunch + because it seems to need alot of editing as well. lets meet up as a group to further discuss???142.150.107.206 (talk) 21:15, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Okay guys, so PLEASE paste your edited versions on my Sandbox page - not this talk page. Then from there, we can edit eachother's work, and do the final submission on wednesday. The edited version is due Monday. CCTSafiaS (talk) 19:45, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

And when you're editing your portion, paste it onto my sandbox, AND describe the changes that you made! That's part of the mark. CCTSafiaS (talk) 20:05, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

And everytime you go back to edit your work onto the sandbox, don't forget to title it on the "edit summary" before the "save page" button. CCTSafiaS (talk) 20:11, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

ok ^__^Wongver3 (talk) 22:35, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

I have posted my rough draft on your sandboxWongver3 (talk) 22:35, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

After trying multiple times to post my draft on my sanbox, i'm just gonna post it here until i find out how to post it properly without it looking weird. Sorry for the confusion.

Instagram is a photo-taking application that allows users to apply digital filters to their photos, giving their image a unique retro type of look. (Tossell, 2011). Users then have the ability to share their photos on various social networking sites, Facebook and Twitter being only a few, as well as Instagram’s very own social network, which allows users to follow people’s pages, browse their images, and comment on their photos (Pc Magazine online, 2010). Instagram, however, is only available for iPhone and iPod Touch (with camera) users at the moment, and can only be purchased at the iTunes App Store (Pc Magazines). Its pictures can be viewed on the open Web, but the Instagram application is needed for those that want to follow the Instagram photo pages on Instagram (Ivor Tossel). An Instagram account must also be set up in order for one to use the Instagram application, so that they may be apart of the rising social network (Pc Magazine). With it’s launched in 2010 (Paul Sawer), with only seven people employed in the company, including executive officer Kevin Systrom, Instagram has reached a staggering 27 million users and counting (Brad Reed), with a rate of one million users joining each month (Ivor Tossel). Although the application is exclusive only to the Apple family, a highly anticipated android version is soon to come (Meghan Kelly). No release date, however, has been confirmed (Meghan Kelly). Since Instagram is built into the iPhone camera lens, the popular application allows users to become really creative with the way they take photos (Linaschke). Because the iPhone is small, and thin, images can be taken from all sorts of angles, in all kinds of positions – something professional cameras would have a difficult time doing (Linaschke). Users can then alter their photos with a variety of digital filters consisting of sepia tones, color saturation, grayscale, and many more (Pc Magazine). Users also have the option of using Instagram’s built-in camera when taking their picture, or the regular iPhone camera application and then open their photos in instagram to be altered (Linaschke). Overall, Instagram allows users to enhance their photo quality, and share it with those around the world (Mikeziarko).

I've referenced it like this for later, so i can know where to code the references for wiki. I'm so tired and annoying... lol its not working for me!!!!!!!! Veronica, how did you post it on the sandbox properly? CCTSafiaS (talk) 01:02, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

You can't see it on the talk page, but if you click edit, you'll be able to see it CCTSafiaS (talk) 21:38, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I have absolutely no idea why my edits are not being displayed on the sandbox, even though it was before, but just in case - here is my edited version of Veronica's passage. Impact

Instagram has impacted society through its acceptance. By December 2010, Instagram had one million registered users[10]. In June 2011 Instagram announced five million users,[11] passing ten million in September the same year.[12] Instagram announced that 100 million photos had been uploaded to its service as of July 2011. The total reached 150 million in August.[13][14]. Evidently, Instagram has become a tremendous success in less than two years. Nevertheless, Instagram has taken part in the change in value of photography. Centuries ago, photography was a very precious article that would be treasured and put on display. In a span of two centuries, photography has progressed significantly. We are now able to take pictures anywhere and anytime. However, as the years have gone by, technology has eaten away at the value of photography. A photo craze was created through the digital camera but photographs taken were typically unimportant and empty. With the invention of Instagram, the concept of creating meaningful imagery has been reborn. Instagram gives the regular person the ability to create great photographs without learning photography.

Iphonographer is a term conceived to describe people who only take pictures with their iPhone. It allows people to view the world in a different light, through the different filters that it offers, as well as spiritually, by encouraging people to be more creative in the way they view the world. Moreover, Instagram is the first to make a photography application into a social network through connecting with Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, and many more. It allows people to share, discuss, and learn more from each others creations; it create new relationships and reconnect old; it allows advertisers to promote their products and services; and it shares ideas about traveling, music, movies and much more.
