I really liked Georgina‘s posts about the hashtags on Facebook (and completely agree!), and I wanted to talk about hashtags as well but on Instagram.
Little bit of History:
Instagram was born in March 2010, it is not even 5 years old! In January 2011, the company introduced #hashtags to make it more accessible for people to look for photos (or to get more likes mm) and by June 2011 Instagram announced it had 5 million users.
Finally in December 2014, according to Insta co-founder, Kevin Systrom, the application has 300 million users accessing the site every month #niceoneinsta
Now we’ve all used stupid hashtags but once again as Georgina mentioned, I love it when there is a little bit of humor behind it and not just boring (and useless) ##.
I don’t know about the statistics but I reckon that the hashtag #FOODPORN has to be in the top 50 of the most popular hashtags. I recently found a girl’s Instagram account from Melbourne that gives literal meaning to the term food porn and I thought I’d share it with you guys! It does not only deal with photos of naked people eating food, she also shares those amazing photos of festivals, road trips, prett-y prett-y cool
some of my favorite photos from the account!
