Class 11, Instagram as a collaboration tool

Instagram is a collaboration tool that is owned by Facebook. It is an app that is available on all smartphones, as well as a website that you can view photos or videos. Instagram is known for its photo and video posts. It is a fairly easy to use interface. Instagram is very popular among people of all ages from kids to adults. Hashtags are used in captions on Instagram to direct people to one area that they can view and collaborate with other people who are posting something with the same hashtag. It has grown to be very popular over the past years and has become one of the top social networking apps.

Instagram allows you to share to other social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. This allows for a large collaboration tool. The intended purpose for this is that it can be seen on a wider platform. For example, you may not have the same friends on Facebook, twitter, and Instagram. Therefore, by sharing it on multiple social networking sites, you are allowing more people to see it and collaborate about what it is that you are posting.

The explore feature of Instagram is something that allows you to see photos and videos that people that you follow have liked. This collaboration tool is interesting because it shows you things that you may like that you would not see otherwise.  The accounts that appear on the explore page have to be public accounts in order for you to see them.


While Instagram is one of the most popular social networking sites, it still does not have as much collaboration as others like Facebook. Instagram still has a growing network and becoming more popular. Instagram is used in the business world to market their business or product, which can be seen from a large platform by using various hashtags and direct tags.
