Something's amiss with [Instagram](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Instagram/) links on [Twitter](http://www.engadget.com/tag/twitter/) and it's not just the overabundance of unnecessarily filtered photos. Users have noticed that, upon clicking those links, images are displaying incorrectly and, in some cases, showing up as cropped. There's no need to drag out the _fail whale_ though (apart from amusing lead image purposes), as both companies have acknowledged that the issue lies in the [Cards](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/15/twitter-brings-content-preview-cards-to-android-and-iphone/) - specifically, Instagram's disabling of them. What that means for end users is that preview thumbnail images will no longer show up from within feeds, reverting the integration to a "pre-cards experience." Speaking at LeWeb conference in Paris today, Instagram's CEO Kevin Systrom insists the change has nothing to do with the [outfit's acquisition by Facebook](http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/09/facebook-to-buy-instagram/) and, instead, is framed as a way of promoting its own web service. As for those "lomo-fi" shots you're all so fond of snapping, have no fear, you'll still be able to tweet those out with same ferocity.
