million.
 Timeline- http://wersm.com/the-complete-history-of-instagram/
What’s the ‘Gram?
 Instagram is a mobile social-networking app where you can share videos and
photos publically or privately.
 Similar to Twitter and Snapchat, everyone must create their own account and
have a timeline. Your post will display on your profile. You can follow, comment
and like others post.
 Instagram has editing features, such as filters and cropping, for your posts you
choose to upload.
Strengths

 Searchable Hashtag: if you are looking for posts pertaining about a particular
thing you can search by hashtags.
 Notification Alerts: who liked and comment on posts.
 Direct Messaging
 You can report offensive posts.
 Discover/ Popular page (later post)
Weaknesses
 Focus more on personal use rather hard concrete news.
 Crop editing can ruin your post and must use additional app to resize picture or
video.
 A lot of fake profiles to catfish other users.
 You can purchase likes and followers.
 Cyberbullying.
Instagram and the News
 There are news such as CNN that use Instagram as a platform however there are a
lot of Instagram pages that predominately focus on “soft news” and celebrity
gossip. EX; The Shade Room.
 A lot politicians and Reporters have Instagram pages.
 Explore and Popular page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG8bkBxi2j8
Comments and Critiques
 Instagram is not the first place I would run to, to receive news. I use this app to
catch up on gossip and watch funny videos.
 Instagram is one of the great ways to visually connect with friends and I like that I
have the option to make my profile private.
 The age range I would suggest for Instagram target users is from (16-29)
 Its very easy to use.
 There should be more concrete news along with the gossip.
