<p>I’m finding I like it more than Facebook in some ways. Quicker snippets, WAY less drama. Love seeing visuals of places, faces and food ( at least my friends and families post lots of food!). </p>
<p>Not much talking required, just an opportunity to "heart ". :)</p>

<p>My son has an instagram account and I was snooping last weekend. What’s this? It looks like a picture of an airport!!! Then I read the cryptic comments, “You’re the best boyfriend in the world”, “That was an amazing week”. I can only deduce that little $%^&* took a week off of college and flew 2,000 miles to see his girlfriend. He had to have spent half the money in his savings account, too.</p>
<p>Wow, toledo that is one heck of a find! Did you mention it?</p>
<p>Niquii, #funnystuff. 
At least with hashtags you can make your point/joke in three words or less!!!</p>
<p>Toledo, that’s crazy! OMG, you must have fell over with shock.</p>
<p>Some celebrities have really fun Instagram photos.</p>
<p>I haven’t dared to mention it. If I did, I wouldn’t have a clue what he’s up to. Can you set instagram sites to private?</p>
<p>Yes, you can make your account private so that you have to “accept” followers.</p>
<p>Toledo, you could make subtle comments that have him wondering if you know something, but never actually say anything. Let the guilt and paranoia work its magic haha!</p>
<p>I have an Instagram account. I’ve always enjoyed photography, and it’s fun getting some validation (i.e. likes) for some of the better pix. I don’t do people or food photos, just scenery. I follow a bunch of people all over the world who take amazing photos. The US Interior Dept posts phenomenal shots from various National Parks.</p>
<p>As with anything online, spam is possible. I report any of these posts/followers right away and then they’re blocked.</p>
<p>I have zero interest in using another social media site. It’s bad enough I’m on facebook. I’d bin that, too, if it wasn’t for Words With Friends.</p>
<p>I like it. It does duplicate a lot of my twitter feed, but that’s OK. I get a little tired of all the food. I love it for sports photos.</p>
<p>One cute thing my son shows are creative pictures of his clothing, uniforms, and sports equipment. He’ll lay them out perfectly, like he was wearing them.</p>
<p>You could do that abasket, with your leggings outfits;).</p>
<p>I like that “slow torture” you mentioned, parentofpeople.</p>
<p>@emileebee, if you have a smartphone, then you can get the app and not worry about FB anymore. Plus you can have your games on the go…</p>
<p>^^This is exactly what I’ve done. I find I get more playing time in. Plus, now I really don’t use Facebook. Never was much of a fan so really don’t miss it at all.</p>
<p>Toledo- in running we call that “flat runner”.</p>
<p>I have an account, but rarely use it. I follow my kids and they follow me. I have a friend (my youngest daughter babysat for his kids all through high school) who is really into Instagram and uses all the bells and whistles attached to Instagram to create interesting photos. For me, it’s just another black hole that takes up too much of my time. I noticed that I have some people following me who I barely know (friends of friends). Seems weird.</p>
<p>“if you have a smartphone, then you can get the app and not worry about FB anymore. Plus you can have your games on the go…”</p>
<p>I downgraded a few years ago. I don’t want to be so connected all the time.</p>
<p>From “Two Broke Girls”:</p>
<p>“Twitter is stupid and Instagram is twitter for people who cannot read”.</p>
<p>^^^ haha how true!</p>
<p>That actually sums up my feelings perfectly, lerkin.</p>
<p>I also sincerely hate hashtags and am so upset they made the jump to facebook.</p>
