Facebook Envy? Twitter Tried To Buy Photo App After Facebook Acquired Instagram

Shortly after Facebook acquired Instagram for a hefty $1 billion, Twitter entered into talks to acquire Tap Tap Tap, the maker of mobile photo app Camera+, according to reports from Bloomberg.

Two people close to the negotiations confirm that Twitter execs had several meetings with Tap Tap Tap in recent weeks.

Tap Tap Tap is the maker of mobile photo app Camera+, and iPhone app that allows users to customize their photo-taking and sharing experience. Photos can be altered using filters, similar to Instagram, but Camera+ also gives users more control over their focus and exposure, offers a 6x digital zoom and several other features.
