&lt;p&gt;New York is truly the most creative city in the world; that is so much of what Tumblr is: a media network, a home for tens of millions of creators.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ve asked for Instagram on the web and we’ve listened. Over the next few days, we’ll be rolling out Instagram profiles on the web!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your web profile features a selection of your recently shared photographs just above your profile photo and bio, giving others a snapshot of the photos you share…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s about time! Instagram now with user profile. More traffic for them! :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://slavoie.tumblr.com/post/35085922629</link><guid>http://slavoie.tumblr.com/post/35085922629</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:28:32 -0500</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
