After discussing Instagram with the class, it is clear: every one of us uses the app for a different purpose, whether that is to give or receive something. Personally I believe we can see Instagram on a spectrum of privacy and publicity – on one end, we have a private account, with a following of our closest friends and family, and interact directly with them. On the other side, we have a page with millions of followers, sponsorships, and a subject with a personal brand. It is clear that there is disparity between creative posts, and branded posts. In the lecture it was also discussed that Instagram can be analysed in a few different ways, and one of these involves looking at how the app has changed over time. This is also relevant in relation to other apps including Facebook. Another thing to consider is the methods of distribution and connectivity between apps when it comes to sharing. These are all concepts and ideas that I look forward to exploring, and will be sure to look out for when using Instagram and other apps for personal use.
