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

Yeah, I'm never going to top that helicopter landing in the hood.

oh hey they're working on rewording it

Re: people not really caring about this, I think it's endemic of at least some subset of millennials who just don't seem at all bothered by really overt online invasions of privacy. Which I feel has something in common with "being famous" as a goal that some of these same people pursue. Some sort of complete dissolution of private walls in the value-free (in the "all publicity is good publicity" sense) pursuit of being seen/noticed (see also: the seemingly carefree proliferation of online nudie snaps). It's all part of some strange gestalt that I totally don't get and that marks the most overt sense I've ever had of a distinct generation gap between me and people younger than myself.

I don't think the issue is necessarily privacy, or even ownership, although these are both concerns. These are images that are already public in some ways, and I don't think the intent is to make them visible to individuals who couldn't already browse and find them.

It's entertaining that flickr is seen as a good alternative, which it mostly is, if you're worried about ownership. But flickr is more highly-searchable and -indexed than most sites, too. If you have public images, it's interesting to see who tags them as favorites or views them. I would get people coming from Google searches or flickr searches for concert pictures I took. Then there were cases where an image would get favorited, you check out their profile, and every image they've added is of a shirtless man. Or they only add images of people smoking cigars.

i once had 200+ views on a picture of my foot

only that many?

must have been on some "look at this grotesque picture of a foot" blog or sthg

whenever i think abt flickr i think about jaxon (r.i.p.) uploading a photo he took of his wife during a hike that some creep added to the "sweaty Asian women" group

eek

yeah, I was weirded out the other day when I realized that if you search for a famous actress or celebrity, the top few google search suggestions always include "x's feet"

1. Become global social megasite
2. Buy rival
3. Shut rival down by making all the users leave.
4. MORE PROFIT!

im on there as datpurp666 fyi

is instagram dead? feel like ppl forgot abt it via vine/snapchat....

I've got a truck driving buddy who takes some awesome road and sunrise instagrams from his cab.

If he moves on to vine and snapchat, I will throw up.

i still instagram, all cats/bread/pizza all the time.

I see it used a lot. Pretty much the default client that people use on twitter other than the native one.

girl on twitter this morning: "going to a concert and not instagramming about it feels almost like you haven't really been there"

i didnt see the word "not" and felt agreement with her

i dont know why i have so many instagram followers. i guess i was an early adopter and they just increase over time as weirdos add you? i thought it might just be crepes, but i never post pics that would interest crepes

pplains Checking out my favorite band right now!

[Distorted rumble of noise]
[dark figures playing in dark room]
[other iphones held up as those people instagram the moment]
