DO'S AND DON'TS OF INSTAGRAM



I'm sure you have or at least know about Instagram. It's a really addicting photo-sharing app is what it is, lol. You get to post cool pictures of things you see, food you eat, etc. Of course, like with Facebook and Twitter, there are people who abuse it and kind of ruin it for the rest of us. In all honesty, I think some people need a reminder as to what's okay and not okay to do on instagram.. so here's a list! ;)


* PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't post 20 photos at once. Nobody wants to see a whole album of what you did that night. To me, Instagram is for sharing the odd photo from an event.. and I mean, that's why there are frame apps (e.g. Pic Stitch) to share more than one photo at once. I really don't think it's okay to be flooding people's Instagrams with what should be in an album elsewhere... like on Facebook maybe?

* In addition to adding 20 photos at once, please don't post blurry pictures or pictures that look like the ones you've already posted. Like what's the point? Why would you post a crappy picture?!

* Do you really need to hashtag the crap out of all of your pictures?!

* Why are you taking pictures of notes?! Isn't that what Twitter is for?! (Or Facebook, but too many status updates on there is annoying too lol) But really.. who wants to read a paragraph on your Instagram? Use other social media if you "must" share your thoughts lol.

* If you look at the thumbnails of all your photos, and you see that a majority of those pictures are of your own face with the same pose... I think it's time for you to sit back and think about why you take a bajillion pictures of yourself and post them all the time lol

* Just like with everything else, nobody needs to know what your personal problems are. Instagram is supposed to be fun!!
