In response to Instagram and their emails to developers using "insta" or "gram"...

- Let's launch The Next Copygram, http://next.copygr.am - Focusing on the users content on our favorite device, laptops and desktops. Instagram does a good job on the mobile devices but on the web they quite don't get it.

So The Next Copygram makes your socks rock.

"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 :-)

Might want to change the name...

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.
