Facebook was supposed to be a directory to help us keep in touch with our friends, but got filled up with so many features trying to retain our attention it began to take over; even replace our relationships with them. Not in all cases.

Instagram (now owned by Facebook) is also loneliness, and has its darker side too, which is that most photos are filtered through our own particular lenses so that only the best aspects of our lives are shared. It can seem like some people spend their entire lives in the sun. We keep up appearances.

But… at least it’s a bit more immediate and visually creative.

What is Instagram? It’s just photo-sharing really (and video sharing), and hash-tagging your uploads so people might discover them. Or just for your friends…
