A Marriage of Visceral, Visual Communication & Community

Pictures speak their own language, help people stay connected and communicate. Instagram is a simple idea of photo sharing which has grown out of proportion and is bursting out the seams wher a photographer can click an image of a road and use filters to give the image a make over. This might make the viewer stop by and look at the street a little longer time than usual.

Instagram gave users an easy way to access images, indirectly their social lives and their where abouts without added responsibility of social relations.

More Valuable Data Set Created

Pictures, time and place taken in sync with smart phone apps can give away so much user related content on which the parent companies can cash in on. Instagram might not have used the data but tagging option can prove to be a bonus in Facebook which it can exploit to study the users.
