Popular social-media site Facebook launched a new app out there called “Instagram”. Instagram is a quick photo sharing application that allows people to take photos, apply a digital filter, and then share that photo on multiple social networking sights. With the greater majority of people using Instagram being teens, over 30 million people world wide are hooked on this app. But why all the excitement you might say? Instagram enables people to share photos with friends, and family. But there are some people who aren’t to fond of this program. The group “Yoursphere For Parents” are people that provide safety information, and tips for when using sights like instagram. What they are worried about is that when you post something it can be viewed by anyone, requires a birth date/location for posting a photo, may link to more cases of cyber bullying, and may have disturbing images on instagram such as profanity, and nudity. I think this is a very neat, and interesting way to be connected all together with social media. With twitter, a blog, or face book things that you post online can be viewed by many people which could be a good thing or a bad thing. I think posting photos and information on all these sites is a great thing to do it can inform people In the world about events and other major things happening, or it can be a sipmle as brightening our day.
