It’s Memorial Day weekend in the United States, and Americans are spending time with friends and family, enjoying the first barbecue of the summer and remembering their fallen military heroes. While people are soaking up some rays or paying tribute to lost heroes, they’re posting some fantastic snapshots to Instagram.

  1. Why is the color so “off” on all those photos?



  2. Not to sidetrack, but is anyone else having trouble viewing PHOTO stories? I really want to see this and several others, but none of the “next”, “jump forward” or “view as one page” buttons respond for me any longer. Sent feedback, no response yet.


  3. Stars and Bars refers to the Confederate Flag. The picture you have posted is – naturally – the American Flag, which is referred to as Stars and Stripes.


  4. i like the NY bridge one!!! hope you guys are enjoying this holiday with your family, friends, or your love!! :)


  5. Praying for online friends preparing for a great holiday !


  6. The Converse store in NYC has a wall of shoes representing the American flag all year long :))

    • prolly worsesest peace of spam evah!

      PS: mashable should let users create a spam flag (a pre aranged set of characters, like a username ) which they would use repply to spammers (my personal choice would be spamalot) ,that would make spam detection a social layer thing. could even write a self serving article about it.

  9. Love the girl in the picture. I have been reading Mashable for a long time. http://www.androidinabox.com


  10. This was a super frustrating bait and switch of a story. All four teaser thumbnails were pictures of attractive women. Once you clicked through the slideshow, none of those images were present.


  11. Check out my Youtube channel ya’ll. Subscribe if you like what you see!! http://www.youtube.com/gamolielandphaze45


  12. Mashable pages are often fraught with techinical errors. Errors in grammar and lexicon are frequent too but that’s another dept, lol.


  13. I really like the photos, very reminiscent of memorial day.

  14. I wish I had payed more attention when instagram was released. I had no use for it, next thing I know Oprah is using it and now it’s creating a lot of buzz. Maybe I’ll take another look.


  15. The picture in slide #8 is not of a tombstone of someone who died in battle like the description says.


  16. I like the “off” colors, personally. However, many of these pictures seem to be ads for corporations…I’d prefer real pictures submitted by people not looking to increase their bottom line.


  17. Adorable pics, now looking to integrate instagram in our app: http://bit.ly/KmQcn




  18. What a bunch of unremarkable average photos.


  19. I think Picassa 3 is much better and have more effects and editing tools .
