Taking photos is great but what good are all those pictures if you can’t share them with others? We come across lots of photo mashups and below we’ll take a look at some of the best that have recently been added. These mashups share and search for images geographically, view pictures posted on Instagram photo steams and even push photos between phones. Popular APIs such as the Flickr API and GoogleMaps API are featured multiple times as expected. Meanwhile relative newcomer Instagram, which we previously covered, is proving to be increasingly popular with developers appearing three times.
Aviary, the photo editing suite that includes a number of Aviary APIs to incorporate photo editing into your web applications is moving its tools to mobile.

With Twitter adding its own photo uploads, we thought it’d be a nice time to go through some of the intelligent mashups that use photos posted to Twitter in an interesting way. I bet a lot of these will get some nice updates to integrate the official Twitter photo capability. First of all, we’ll talk about the recent Mashup of the Day, Hashtagram.

Photo editing service Aviary has added a new HTTP-based API that allows developers to pass photos through filters, effects and even basic editing operations. Aviary “soft-launched” the new Aviary Effects API last week at SXSW, when we interviewed Aviary’s Michael Galpert (video below). The new service could be used to create photo-sharing services like Instagram, CMS plugins to aid workflow or within social applications to create a standard look to all avatars.
Now that the Instagram API is available with last month’s public beta launch, we’ve started to see some fun apps built on top of it. Since Instagram’s only official product is an iPhone application, that means we’re seeing web clients, badge widgets and even Hot-or-Not style games. The best part is that some even cross over to multiple mobile photo APIs, increasing their reach and usefulness.
