The start up scene in Australia is hot and  trending  at the moment  with many start ups  getting million dollar funding’s. We came across a new  breakthrough website called “ this is now” which uses the popular instagram  website to showcase what is happening in Australian cities and places around the world at any particular moment.

Instagram inspired Australian website  launch “ This is now”

This is Now project is a visual composition which uses real-time updates from the ever popular Instagram application based on users geo-tag locations.

This is now which has just launched recently in Australia is innovative , fresh and very interesting concept.

The tool streams photos instantly as soon as they are uploaded on Instagram and captures a city’s movement, in a fluid story. – ( http://now.jit.su/ )

Aussie website shows Current live picture stream of  cities

This new Australian website uses Instagram photos to create a real-time fly-on-the-wall look at nine major cities across the globe , with more cities to come soon.

The website when loaded in your browser keeps updating new photos to the page  to give you a live  and current view on what’s going on in any particular city  at that part of time. So how it works is , for example  as users upload a pic say to Instagram or facebook  this website will pick it up and stream  it to the  website as a live upload.

More than 450,000 users have already logged on to This is Now, launched two weeks ago, to view more than 1 million photos posted by tech savvy happy snappers around the world.

Go check it out yourself here http://now.jit.su/ . Sydney is also on the  this is now list for now with more Australia cities to possibly  feature later
