PicStar vs. Instagram: Ultimate Showdown

January 30, 2013

15-year-old Silverish blogger Jamie Rodriguez has launched PicStar today, a complete knockoff of Instagram.

Continuing a battle against Instagram to be shut down, PicStar is no prisoner. I don't like the feeling about copy-and-paste websites. It is a terrible copy of Instagram, with many of the familiar features of the site. The Silverish government is ordering the Instagram site to be shut down so that everyone can use PicStar.

In an interview, she said, "I have never even heard of Instagram, so I launched PicStar to show my friends what is Instagram like. I never heard of Facebook either, so I have Minasto."

She even copied the site's logo.
