Instagram is basically about photos. Social media users share photos or videos through this application with other users. This service is owned by Facebook, and therefore, posts can be shared not only in Instagram but also in Facebook, and other Facebook, Inc owned social media tools.
Instagram is used mainly with mobile application, but can also be accessed through computers website interface. The application allows users to upload photos or videos, modify them with different filters and tag them. Theses tags enable other users to find photos. The application also provides a messenger type of communication between users.
Users can keep their profile private and select their own followers, or they can make it public and receive information as an organisation as to who and where the followers are from. Users can choose to follow users and tags or locations.
I like that I can post all my photos in Instagram and have them also posted in Facebook at the same time. What I would like more is to post my photos from my computer, and not through my phone application only. Also the 1:1 aspect ration on photos is annoying, so it's good that you can post other ratio too. Still if you want to post panorama view, then you have to use other social medias. When connected with Facebook Instagram will automatically reconcile if there are other sites you are upholding, and allows you to post photos, not only on your own Facebook site, but also on your companies site.
Compared to Facebook the services provided are quite limited, but then again if the service is focused on photos, then it should be enough. I have yet to discover wether they have groups or communities that you can join as private person, and share photos with those in the group, but not outsiders. Adding hashtags makes everything so public. Instagram is publicity.
