A key component of social media is ‘following’ – and no one is there to see what you have to say on Instagram or Twitter if they aren’t motivated to follow you.
I’m going to become like a gymnast. I watch online, on Instagram, these gymnast influencers, and that’s where I want to get.
Def Jam commented on one of my Instagram photos once, and all my friends me hit me up, like ‘Yoooooo, you signed to Def Jam?’
I feel good when I see someone from fan clubs on Instagram make a card for me.
The major reason why Instagram works is that you can follow anyone out there and start following their photos immediately.
It is extremely gratifying to see success like exhibited by the founders of Instagram!
‘Instagram’ is a media company. I think we’re about visual media. I explain ourselves as a disruptive entertainment platform that enables communication through visual media. I don’t think it’s just photos.
I’m never on Twitter. I’m never on Instagram. And that’s not by choice: it’s just that those things never really interested me. I might post a picture here and there, but that ain’t really been my focus.
It’s not all Instagram worthy!
I like to stay in touch with the fans via social media a lot. I really get involved through Twitter and Instagram, if anyone wants to see what I’m doing.
I’m like any other girl: I see the Instagram posts and the Tumblr stuff. I’m inspired by what my fellow girls are doing.
Instagram is my 401k.
I refuse to promote anything on Instagram for money and I’m aware that I have to be careful about saying yes to anything.
I have never been attracted to increasing my popularity or hireability by being on Instagram.
If me believing helping others should come before Instagram posts is ‘stupid’… you got me right.
People so often forget that their Instagram is more than just their latest post. Before posting, step back and look at the bigger picture, a.k.a. your ‘flow.’
I’m a serial scroller, and whenever I have a minute to spare, you’ll find me on my phone scrolling through Instagram.
When you open up ‘Instagram,’ you need to know that you’re seeing the real Tony Hawk, the real Taylor Swift, the real Burberry.
Some might see me on Instagram or Twitter and think otherwise, but when you really get to know me, I’m a likable guy. So that’s why I think that people are drawn to me.
I’ve met someone on Instagram, and I developed this like, ostensibly intimate relationship with them, and then, turns out, they weren’t who they were.
I’m most active on Instagram, then Twitter, and then Facebook. I haven’t opened up Snapchat for the public; it’s only for my friends.
If you look at my Instagram, girls are just beating down my door for tips or a job or mentorship. I can’t hire every single one of them. My story is one thing that gives them hope. It’s an unconventional story with anecdotes, commonsense advice and a big dose of permission to figure things out for yourself.
If you go on my Instagram, you’re not going to see the same content you’ll see on my YouTube. Instagram has become the new magazine. It’s much more editorial and about perfect moments that are captured. Snapchats are funny, real moments that you want to share. On YouTube, it’s more structured, more storytelling.
I get messages from people telling me all the time through Twitter or Instagram about how my path has inspired their path. It’s good for them, for people who have a certain amount of mental problems, suffering from depression or anxiety, being able to have someone who recognises them and helps them.
A lot of people know me from Instagram, and most of the concepts that I post there are my looks or my makeup. They don’t know or remember that, almost every night in NYC, I am running from gig to gig and working hard.
I like the two worlds coming together in the Internet space, which is so up for grabs… It all struck me when I heard about Twitter and Instagram, how it’s like notes you pass in class. If someone’s passing you a note, you really should be doing something else, and instead you’re like, oh, ‘What are you doing?’
My friends had to convince me to get a Twitter and Instagram.
Back in the day, I actually studied photography in Florence for a few months, and my photography teacher took away my digital camera and said, ‘No, use this – it’s analog and it’s square.’ It was a Holga camera, a very cheap $3 or $4 plastic camera. And that’s what inspired ‘Instagram’.
When my alarm goes off between 6 to 6:30 A.M, the first thing I do is reach for my phone. I look at Twitter to see the headlines. It’s become my news aggregator. Then I check my Instagram.
Occasionally when I look at my Instagram and see how many followers I have, it shows me how it’s going up by the minute. It blows my mind, but everyone around me keeps me grounded.
For me, Instagram had become a place where I could image myself the way I found myself.
Throughout my career I have developed a thick skin against verbal abuse, justifying it as just ‘part of the game’ but the time has come for Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to consider regulating their channels, taking responsibility for protecting the mental health of users regardless of age, race, sex or income.
I pay my rent with my Instagram.
When you think about the guys who started Twitter, and the Google guys, and the Facebook guys and the Napster guys, and the Microsoft guys, and the Dell guys and the Instagram guys, it’s all guys. The girls, they’re being left behind.
I don’t do my own Instagram.
When you put something on Instagram, the English people are always so positive. As a player, you need that.
My friends are all about Instagram and all about Snapchat.
I get the weirdest comments on Instagram.
I might find out about a songwriter and start following them on Instagram. Within a day, we might be hanging out and feeling out whether we can work together.
I love people who Instagram story themselves running and they’ll tag me or they’ll send me a message and they’ll be like, ‘Wow this is so motivational and so inspirational.’
In the digital age, there are a million and one ways to find out what someone you fancy is doing – but remember, they can see when you’re watching their Instagram stories. If you fall deep into a hole of snooping, resist flicking through the digital diaries of their exes, or at least learn to cover your tracks.
Instagram is amazing, and I enjoy sharing photos there. However, I don’t think it is where my photos will go to live.
In my view, we need to break up Facebook from Instagram and the other potential competitors that Facebook bought up.
On my Instagram, lots of people tag me in photos of just dudes with beards, and they’re like, ‘Oh my God, I met Chet Faker’ and I’m like, ‘That doesn’t even look like me.’
Instagram, Swiffer, and Nest had to compete with consumer habits and perceptions. Breakout products face competition from the formidable inertia powering the status quo.
Whether it’s an ad or organic content, video provides a new creative dimension for storytelling on ‘Instagram’. Video lets people convey the power and beauty in a moment through sight, sound, and motion.
It’s insane how much press my Instagram will get. It’s weird, in a way, that I can dictate the agenda – but I love being able to have a say in all of that.
I remember, when we were starting Tinder, we were like, ‘We’re going to be the next Instagram!’ I remember sending my parents emails being like, ‘We got 300 members!’
It comes in a moment when I capture something happening, and I go, ‘Oh, that would be great for Instagram. I should post it.’ I know it’s boring, but that’s genuinely what I do.
If you go through my Instagram feed, it’s like a flip book of me thinking I’m way more attractive than I am. It’s nauseating.
On my Instagram, my boyfriend will take pictures of me, or someone else will take a picture of me, and they’re like, ‘What is wrong with her? She looks sick.’ And I’m like, ‘No I just don’t have two hours of hair and makeup, you guys.’
It’s hard when you get into an Instagram hole, because we live in such a Facetuned world. You see all these girls are in their bathing suits, and it’s hard not to think, ‘I wish I looked like that.’ But you can only be your own personal best.
I don’t Tweet or Twat. I’m not on Instagram or Facebook.
With social media, with Instagram and selfies and all these apps that are trying to make you look perfect… it’s hard for girls to grow up nowadays with all that stuff.
Instagram is kind of a big lie at the end of the day.
I just started using this app called Wine and Dine. It’s like Instagram, but only for food. You post what you’re eating and follow your friends, and then you can say, ‘I wanna try that,’ and so when you go on your ‘wanna try’ list, it’ll tell you where it is.
Even Instagram has become a way to show off your girl group and make other girls feel left out.
You know, when I was little, I actually did want to be an actor. But I only wanted to play myself. So Instagram is sort of perfect for me.
I get stuff every single day whether that be comments on my Instagram photos, or tweets about a tweet that I put out. Just tweets that they make in general to just pick on me, make me feel bad about myself, belittle me or anything. It’s not good.
It’s not that Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter aren’t really great mediums – let’s be honest; technology allowing us to be able to contact people around the world is fantastic – but it’s also so detrimental.
