- Are you using Instagram? Why or why not?
Many of us use instagram, and for different reasons. It seems there is a commonality of those who love to take photos, and the love of Instagram, but that makes sense since IG is a photo app that gets those photos onto the social media network highway.
A1 I do, but not as much as I’d like.During her interview, @madalynsklar got me excited about using #instagram more #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) May 15, 2013 | #SocialCafe #TBW I use #instagram to try to increase my blog with new readers under the name web.stagram.com/n/nycstylecano…— NYC Style Cannoli (@nycstylecannoli) May 15, 2013 |
- What are some challenges you have had using instagram?
All-in-all, we haven't listed that many challenges, but most of the challenges relate to apps or SPAM. It seems that Instagram is doing a better job of taking care of the SPAM and they do have a reporting feature. Good for you, Instagram! Thank you.
A2 Integration still seems to be somewhat of an issue with other applications#SocialCafe— ToddInKC (@ToddInKC) May 15, 2013 | Q2. YES- Spammers are very ANNOYING!!!! I didn't realize it until the other day-- #TBW— Eileen CCampos (@EileenCCampos) May 15, 2013 |
- What are some ways Instagram has helped you enhance your blogging?
Creative ideas flowing on how Instagram helps with socialization, networking, and blogging. Cross-promotion is key and the ability for instagram to post that photo in multiple places helps to get that conversation going that much sooner. Tagging is key, to get them back to you, and your site/blog.
