Just a thought......Using quartz composer (which I suck at) can you get an instagram feed like you do with twitter. Instagram uses hashtags as well. And I heard people using the JQuery plugin to get instagram feeds to their website. If anyone knows anything on this....I would be willing to donate to the cause. ;0)

Someone with more time could use the existing twitter overlay and mod it to use this feed instead, with an extra sprite for the pic.

in the url box you'll see the address..jus input your hashtag as instructed below..
Step 1. Use this feed format: http://instagram.com/tags/HASHTAG/feed/recent.rss
Step 2. Replace “HASHTAG” with your desired hashtag. For example, the feed for the hashtag #dogs would be: http://instagram.com/tags/dogs/feed/recent.rss (note: the # symbol is intentionally left out).
Please, anyone who knows more about QC and JavaScript have a look at it and fix it. I've attached a link the file with some of the fixes I accomplished, it works but it still needs some work done here and there, i've wrote some notes to make it easier to understand.

To whoever that takes the trouble like me: thanks for fixing it and sharing
It basically needs someone who can fix the JavaScript part of the composition.

hey can you post the Facebook qtz? I can't find it anywhere
go to this page and he has a combined Twitter/Facebook or seperate ones

let me know if you need help setting up
So after a few tinkering hours and attempts with the above code line, I noted that the reason the posts weren't going up quickly enough was because of the RSS reader being used. The RSS line had to many exceptions and polling issues, therefore it was taking too long to post. I paid a buddy of mine to host a new RSS feed reader on his website and now the posts come up within 5 secs.
As far as a Twitter and Facebook RSS reader, I know nothing about how those API's work but I have a feeling that they can also be made to work if someone really wants to. (i know they use to work when M.E. first launched the overlay compatibility.
I will be field testing the Updated RSS feed this weekend. Hopefully theres no more issues
As mentioned before, I ended up paying someone to host an RSS reader on their site. It seems instagram changed some API stuff on their end.
But yes... up and rolling now. I'll have to ask this dude if I can share this new reader as I don't know what kind of traffic his site can or can not handle.
Limited to show the 20 most recent posts containing a certain tag.
Feel free to contact me if you would need it...

Let me be clear about a few things before people complain.
The feed is currently limited to the last 20 posts made to the photostream. If you know API coding (which I don't) you can code the API to pull to a max of 50 posts.
The stream will not pull any of the previous photos posted to Instagram. It will only upload the photos when they published after you setup the IFTTT Recipe. IFTTT will auto run after you have everything in place. I personally leave mine running all the time so that when I go to the bar it will pull photos that maybe older.
The upside to this is that if someone posts something that you do not want to have up you can remove it from the feed and it will not come up again.

**** I did not create this quartz file. I just edited it to fit my needs. I do not take credit for any of the programming outside of my personal edits made to the file. ****
1. Create a Flickr account.
2. Create an IFTTT account.
3. Create a Recipe in IFTTT to trigger from Instagram when a "New Photo By Anyone Tagged XXXXX" (I am using the bars hashtag to generate my feed) and upload public photo from URL to your photostream. In the upload the following fields should have:
Photo URL - {{SourceURL}}
Title - {{Caption}}
Description - {{Username}}
Tags - Instagram
4. After you have created the Recipe you will want to upload a photo with the hashtag you want.
5. Check your Flickr photostream to see if the photo was uploaded. If not then go to your IFTTT Recipe and click "Check". The photo then should be uploaded to Flickr.
6. Download and open the quartz file I have posted to my Dropbox URL above. This is not my programming I just modified it for my use.
7. Goto your Flickr click "You" then "Photostream".
8. From there click "Edit" and scroll to the bottom.
9. Right click on the RSS logo that is nest to Subscribe to XXXX photostream.
10. Click "Copy Link"
11. Open the Quartz file that you downloaded in Quartz Composer.
12. Double click on "Instagram Feed".
13. Click on "WWW Address".
14. Paste the URL you copies in step 10 into the "WWW Address" value field in the patch inspector.
15. Save the file.
The feed should start to show you the last 20 posts in your RSS feed. This will only show the last 20 posts you have. I have been trying to get it to work with more but I have to code the API for that and currently not enough time to make that happen.
The top banner you can edit. I removed my images from it but you can add your own in there. Just double click on the Non Instagram Items. I have labels what items are where. You will need to edit the settings for your own situation. The resolution is 800X600 so if you want to make it bigger or smaller feel free to do that on your own.

Easy to setup. Zero Quartz file editing. It just works

Any news on how to get IFTTT to update automatically? apart from that. that is awesome, stoked on getting it working
Can you tell me what Im doing wrong?? It keeps grabbing the wrong photos from my feed.
Hit up ELUSIVE fo sho!!!
Above the instagram logo it has some random numbers and letters...how can I get that removed? anyone get it working 100 percent?
When you follow vjeklpse's awesome tutorial above on IFTTT/Flickr RSS you should be up and running in no-time. The testing Hashtag I'm using for this .qtz was #happy.
There is still so much more we can do with this idea and I wanted to get this back in everyone's hands as fast as possible...please let me know what you think and big THANK YOU for all the work everyone put in to get us this far!
