Some facts about Instagram

   



Camera-phone photography is now so much more than simply 'chimping'. Instagram is slightly ridiculous, there's no getting away from that fact. I'm not saying it's bad, but the photo app now has something like 7 million users, and has a team of about 4 people running it. Like I said, ridiculous. 

If you haven't heard of it, Instagram is an app that takes photos, allows the user to apply various filters and then upload their images to the social network of their choice. 

People have been uploading photos from their camera-phones for years, but the ability to manipulate images with different filters has re-invigorated street photography.

Predictably, brands are starting to experiment with Instagram. Burberry was one of the earliest, followed by usual reliable early adopters like Starbucks and Red Bull. Check out the Neutrogena Instagram Cream case study
