Instagram has launched a people discovery tab. “Your friends may not be the best photographers, so Instagram today launched a second ‘People’ Explore tab that highlights great Instagrammers and three of their recent pics.

The British Library has provided an update about its collecting of World War I Web sites. “The collection has been growing steadily over the past few months and now totals 111 websites. A significant subset of the WW1 special collection comes from the output of the Heritage Lottery Funded projects.
