Facebook Launches Camera App
Facebook has released Facebook Camera for iOS, a camera application with a close resemblance to Instagram, which Facebook recently acquired for $1 billion.
The app's claim to fame is photo filters, which should -- in theory, at least -- make your photos look more attractive, but we're not too sure Facebook Camera can compete with Instagram, whose filters are arguably much better. In any case, it's a win-win situation for Facebook which owns both apps, and it can choose whether to push them both at the same time, merge one into the other or completely abandon one and put all its photo-nicefying eggs in one basket.
