Instagram has taken the phrase, 'A picture is worth a thousand words' and made it the focus of their website and app. For learning more about places to travel to, food options to try, interesting items to have, up-to-date news to know, and so forth, it is a great way to take all of that information and display it in a visually appealing way. Anyone, even those without an account, can access these photos. This is great for promotion as well, as provides a receptive audience from all over the world. If you ever wanted to see and contact your favorite celebrity, chances are that they have an account - and want you to know more about them too (on their own terms.)

The problem is that, for a public account, anyone, even those without an account, can access these photos. Private solves part of the problem - but it defeats the purpose of promotion. Plus, many tend to use it for more self-serving means, which can be tiring to look through and provides mostly nothing for the viewer. (Consider that #selfie is one is the most popular hashtags out there.) Some of the commenters out there tend to have no filter either.

It is another social media website. There is some use for it. Just remember that you don't have to register for an account to see the photos - and that it can be a huge time waster if you are not diligent about it.

I personally like Instagram because I do alot of contests using this app and I like seeing my friends and families pictures because not everyone goes on Facebook anymore

well it's a free app which i tried so hard not to accept into my life but i was weak. it's quite addictive, i spent too much time on it. i take too long with filter choice and hashtags but i love it and will never let go of it until they probably start charging.

Pretty neat app I just don't use it often. I'm more into sharing photos on fb.

I don't have an Instagram myself but I like to look at the pictures that my family and friends post on Instagram, I feel like if I were to get an account I would be on it everyday so it's not good for me to get one haha.

Just like FB I use Instagram for posting reviews etc. there are also lots of contests on Insragram

I use instagram for reviewing purposes. I know many people use it for personal sharing, and it seems like a really good app. I'll be continuing my use strictly for my reviews, but I would recommend it to anyone.
