Facebook bought Instagram in the Fall of 2012. This was a very smart move.
Tell us who you are. Let us know there are real people working hard to help us enjoy the destination.
Itâs kind of like the Amazon.com method. When they show you recommendations for what other people have bought? If ALL these other people like you, then maybe I should like you too.
Hashtags are searchable. Itâs a way to curate information (or photos, in this case) to make it easy to find. I can search Instagram for other photos with the same hashtag. I can also search them on Twitter where the photos are shared with a whole different audience.
