You have spoken: Itsdagram will be renamed to Instance

Earlier today, the popular (and unofficial) Instagram customer for Windows Phone, Itsdagram, faced a dire situation: be renamed or face removal from the Shop. Developer Daniel Gary was scrambling for a new name (and font and icon) for his prized app and he had less than 24-hours to practice so.

To make the choice more fun and to requite you folks a vox, we suggested a survey followed by a poll. From one grand responses, Daniel Gary and our squad whittled information technology down to v choices. From there, it was all in your hands.

With 31% of the vote and a ten% lead over the runner-up, y'all as a community have decided on 'Case' as the replacement name for Itsdagram!

Here are the full results.

Instance – 31% (Winner)
Pseudogram – 21%
Livegram – 18%
Lensa (for Instagram) – 17.5%
Spry (for Instagram) – 12.3%

Total votes came in at just over 2,000, making this a significant result—especially if you consider that Daniel Gary could have just renamed his app to 'Fluffy Bunny Lens' if he wanted! (Actually, he did prefer the runner up, Pseudogram, but alas, even he doesn't always get what he wants. Heck, our preference came in dead final!).

So who was the lucky winner? Well, this will become a little viscid simply technically it was clindhartsen, who posted it at seven:04pm. Nosotros say technically considering really a new-to-the-site poster suggested that name (and about four others) at 6:45pm. That poster, who goes by 10701353, unfortunately did not follow our directions which said only one entry per person, so they have to exist butterfingers.

So clindharsten gets the $fifty gift document to the Windows Phone Central Store and his proper name in the app as an acknowledgement! But hey, we're not complete meanies hither, so if 10701353 actually sees this mail service and contacts us, we'll give him/her a $25 GC too. Booya.

Information technology's late tonight, and so hopefully we'll hear more for Daniel Gary tomorrow on the app redesign, including the new font, new logo and the new name that y'all came together as a community to select!

Congratulations to everyone and give thanks y'all for participating.(And try non to be too upset if your choice wasn't picked--it's just a proper name, folks, have fun with it!)
