I think it's more appropriate to think of Instagram as similar to Twitter rather than MySpace. And once you do, the analogy breaks down.
Path is great for super personal stuff, and the 50 user limit is good for that. Instagram is more like Twitter, where you can take interesting photos and anybody can follow you.
- andre3k1 16y agoI was actually going to include a reference to Twitter in the original post, but I edited it out of the final draft. Here's what I had written up: >Twitter isn’t social networking, Twitter is blogging. Therefore, the “closed” social networking argument does not apply. >With blogging you wish to share everything you can with the rest of the world. The same can be said for Twitter. The Twitterverse, like the blogosphere, is a place to go and get educated. In these two scenarios, an “open” system trumps any and all closed-systems. >Remember, a social network provides no real value other than fulfilling a social need. The blogosphere and the Twitterverse provide much more.
