I believe Instagram is a great tool for businesses to use for public relations and marketing. By posting well photographed pictures of a product or appealing photo of a serviced offered, it catches the attention of viewers who are then inclined to 'follow' the business. This means that the viewer will then receive further updates from the business and learn about other products or services through photos posted. The great thing about Instragram is that it is free, easy to use and has the capability to incorporate links and further information into each post.

Review
Instagram is a social media site that
allows users to upload videos and photographs to share with their friends or
make public. Instagram is widely popular amongst celebrities, businesses and
people who share images of their life and interests. Instagram made its debut
into the world of apps a few years ago and has done well to maintain its users
and popularity by constantly updating software and keeping users interested.
Unlike other photography apps, Instagram has combined both photography and social media aspects to create an app that is unlike others on the app market. Instagram has an easy to use and relaxed feel and is adjustable to all users. Once a user has uploaded a photograph or video to Instagram, they have the ability to hashtag a ‘tagline’ that relates to their photo or video. Instagram users then have the ability to search Instagram for users or hashtags, which gives the opportunity for viewers to search for common interests.
Instagram have a selection of filters
that users can apply to their photographs before they upload them, combining
digital photo editing and social media into one simple click of a button. Users
are also able to share their Instagram post directly to Facebook, and other
social media websites which is another aspect of ease of use. Although
Instagram has been marketed as an app, their website also allows users to log
in and view their Instagram account and use the same functions available on the
app.
Overall, Instagram is a great social
media photography and videography site that has stood the test of time in the
technology world and proves its success and popularity time and time again.

Hi Monique,
ReplyDeleteI am interest in reading your post. I never know Instagram before. When i finished read your post, i also believe Instagram is a great tool. If you can add some pictures about Instagram, your post should be better. Overall,this post is really well written.
Hi Monique!
ReplyDeleteGreat review on Instagram. You definitely covered all the bases and it reads quite well. A few things I found:
Line 2, paragraph 2 - I would replace 'well photographed pictures' with 'well taken photos'.
Line 2, paragraph 2 - There needs to be an 'an' before 'appealing'
Line 2, paragraph 4 - 'unlike others on the app market' is mentioned twice in that sentence.
Line 4, paragraph 5 - A comma is needed after 'websites'
Hope this helps.
Good luck with it all.
