2. WHAT IS INSTAGRAM?
Instagram is an online Photo and Video sharing social media network that allows
users to take pictures and videos (up to 15 seconds), apply pre-made filters to
those media and then share them on a variety of social networking services such
as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc

3. FEATURES:
Instagram takes images and video in a square format like old Polaroids unlike
modern day digital cameras which commonly use a ratio of 16:9, this gives them
a unique feel so people will know your using Instagram for the pictures and they
stand out a bit better from other photos shared online.

4. SOCIAL PRESENCE
Facebook bought Instagram because it created competition in the mobile market.
It did this by being a simple and accessible application that people can pick up
and go on. Facebooks mobile app requires sign in, has tons of games and junk all
over it that takes away from what Facebook is supposed to be: a picture sharing
website.

5. NETWORKING WITH INSTAGRAM
Instagram is a mobile app, it cannot be downloaded onto a desktop, which is fine
because why would you want it there? It integrates fluidly with social networking
sites because it has built in features that allow you to instantly share the pictures.
In other words the app knows you aren't taking pics for saving on your device,
they're being taken to share online through whatever social media services you
use.
Instagram works great for individuals because it applies filters without the person
having any knowledge of how to do this themselves. In other words you dont need
to bother with photo editing programs to add something a little extra to your pics.

6. CONCLUSION
Instagram's strength is that it is based on simplicity. It only work's on mobile
devices and has pre-made filters instead of a way to crate and edit your own. its
made for on the go, and the idea that the best camera is the one you have with
you. Instagram's strength is that it is easily shared over multiple social media
networks so people who use it will see immediate results.
