Despite reversing course on ToS changes, Instagram faces a first civil lawsuit.

Instagram quickly backpedaled from a revised Terms of Service (ToS) agreement that said users would have to "agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos...in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you," but it still managed to trip over a class action lawsuit. The civil suit was filed in San Francisco and charges Instagram with breach of contract and other claims.

Internet junkies addicted to Netflix, Instagram, and Pinterest had to find something else to occupy their time over the weekend. All three services, plus some others like BlackBerry Mobile, were down for a period of a time after severe thunder storms rolled through the D.C. area, resulting in significant power outages and knocking out Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud in Virginia.

Around 430,000 Android users signed up to be notified the moment Instagram would invite them to what's been an exclusive iOS party. When the doors opened, more than twice as many Android users crashed the party on the first day, much to the chagrin of iOS users, but much to the delight of Facebook, which has agreed to buy the photo sharing app for a cool $1 billion.
