    Its a really great "just manaing my own stuff" but the lack of public albums where non-registered users can view read only is a dealbreaker - if they fixed this it would be a great alternative to flickr and smugmug

    Instagram restricts image quality severely, and is not fully functional in a desktop browser. It doesn't provide any album functionality. It also doesn't let you retain full copyright to the images.
