On Twitter, some 147,000 pictures were posted over a 24-hour period tagged
Sandy.
Some of the pictures, however, were fakes. A Tumblr page sought to keep track
of the obvious and less-obvious bogus photos as “a public service.”
One dramatic shot of the New York skyline was “actually a picture from
2011, of a thunderstorm over Manhattan during a tornado alert,” said
the Tumblr blog author identified as @flashboy.
Facebook completed its acquisition of Instagram in September. The original
price was pegged at $1 billion but the final value was less because of the
decline in Facebook’s share price.
