Instagram

Instagram is a social network created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger in 2010. It is used to share images and videos and to talk with friends, with family, etc. The application allows users to take pictures, apply filters and frames if you want, and finally show them to their friends or followers. It also allows to send it to other applications like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Instagram was originally designed for iPhone, iPad and iPod with a download from the APP Store and from its website. At the beginning of April 2012, a version was published for Android and, currently, is also download from Google Play. Since its creation, Instagram has been very popular. In November 2011, it had 12 million followers and, currently, the application has more than 100 million of active users, and it has become one of the most used apps (between the 10 most used).

The insta stories is a new option that Instagram has incorporated relatively recently and has become a great and famous success. They allow you to upload pictures or videos for 24 hours. In addition, it also presents the possibility of being able to write about the videos or photographs you made, to add emoticons or to make drawings, always facilitating the user the task. Users can carry out informal publications that will last only 24 hours and focus on presenting the rest of their followers what they are doing.

I think that Instagram is a good network to talk and inform you about the things that happen. But all with good use because it can end up being addictive and even a way to have fights. But I think it is a very good way to expose, in a careful way, your life to the world.
