I am so not "getting" this Instagram thing / do you guys want to look at each others pictures?

i mean datpurp666

I enjoy your instagram *thumbs up*

i feel like people like this more than twitter, but i think i'm the exact opposite

International Space Station and NASA both have instagrams.

In my world, lots of people use Twitter, and I'm only dimly aware that Instagram still exists except as "that thing Facebook bought before WhatsApp"

so I am newcomer to the Instagram thang and I have a boring tech question oh no

the app on my iPhone keeps wanting me to connect my camera roll to my instagram account

I haven't done this yet because I'm afraid that it's just going to put everything in my camera roll immediately up onto instagram and I don't want to share every pic I've ever taken because some of them are just way ugly or boring or, ahem, private etc.

is there a way to connect the camera roll to instagram but to still allow me as the user to determine which pics flow there and which don't? I hope there is, but for now I'm using a cumbersome app called Gramblr to upload pics from a computer to Instagram so that I can be more selective/more of an editor

IG will only post what you want, it just needs to ask permission to access that part of your phone first

yeah it's just so you don't have to use the camera in IG, you can just take pics like normal and then use IG to upload and edit them if/when you want

thank u

Instagram can kill a crush dead in its tracks

hahaha that reminds me of ethan's old thread about myspace

For me it's just the details of her romantic dinners and vacation with her boyfriends that's just...

I'd rather not know but it's my own fault for searching them out in the first place.

Hey y’all! I have been taking pictures and posting them to this thing. Here’s a link to my profile: http://shoutkey.com/drawbridge

If a thing happens and isn't shared, did it really happen?

Can we start the igram backlash yet?

on public transportation in nyc, people are inevitably looking at either igram or fbook

I've said it elsewhere, but the new Instagram location feature is the best.

Here's the Reno Walmart, one of the nearest box stores to #burningman.

What's new about the location feature?

You couldn't search it before.

You could click a location if you saw it on a pic, but you couldn't query it.

way too many ads now :/

I haven't seen a single one yet

what? how

I see sponsored post ads, but some of the folks I follow on Instagram are basically posting ads anyway (but they are ones I want to see)-- just for DC go-go gigs, New Orleans brass ones, afrobeat/afropop dj nights, etc.
