Nokia says @InstagramWP is not real

Nokia called @InstagramWP Twitter as a fake account. Ironically, Nokia was following the site that many thought could have been genuine. The tweet sent out from the fake account read "Good things come to those that wait! :)" which was a message alluding to the long wait that Windows Phone owners have endured waiting for an official Instagram app. As per Nokia's head of Media Relations, an auto-follow rule on Tweetsender led it to appear as though the Finnish company was following tweets from the @InstagramWP account and also giving it a lot of credibility.  It was told on Wednesday that the tweet was not genuine for a number of reasons. Meanwhile, one of the better third party Instagram apps for Windows Phone, Itsdagram, might soon return to the Windows Phone Store after its developers quickly pulled it on Monday to work on some missing features. The app offers everything the real Instagram does, except for the filters.
