Instagram

My daughter is an interior designer and uses Instagram as her platform. She publishes photo’s of her own house and some very cautious photographs of her family life i.e. none of the photo’s show her children or husband in ways that they could be identified - lots of side face and oblique angled shots. I joined Instagram so that I could observe the improvements she has been making to her house; she has a huge number of followers, including some who feature her photo’s (with her permission) on their company websites.

I love Google Earth - it’s a great way of seeing places you would never have the chance of visiting ….

Buying followers will get them banned. It is pointless anyway as the followers will come from dead accounts and won’t interact. It is a case of “I’ve got more followers than you ?”

SilentWorker Instagram is just another social platform like Gransnet that you are currently using, do the younger generation comment on you using a screen.

I use "Insta" but I don't post much. It's good for snapshots of information, and pictures. Literally Snap shots!
Give it a go..

I wish those Instagrams were never existed! Our young generation is tied to their screens.

By the way, I had a few strange (weird) followers pop up on Instagram, until my daughter explained that I needed some 'serious revision of my security settings', so she did that for me.

Thanks so much GK my favourite tennis player Rafa Nadal has just gone on Instagram and I want to be able to use this feature to follow him.

I knew I could depend on a Gransnetter to put me right.

nk as I understand it, Instagram is kind of Twitter or Facebook but for images only, in other words a way of recording pictorial bites of your life with very brief comments. You have followers as in Twitter. I signed up for Instagram because I wanted to see my daughter's pictures, and now I like it and use it to record images. It is instant, that's the fun of it. See it, like it, photograph it, post it.

I follow about 6 people - my favourite is a photographer guy who works for National Geographic. It's a wonderful way of seeing the world (depending on who you follow).
