As you may or may not know, I'm an avid Instagrammer (my wife Jess would use a different word), so much so that I'll be prattling on about Instagram at an upcoming event (pity those poor fools in advance I say ;)

I'm fascinated about how Instagram (IG)  has blitzed what was an already crowded marketplace for photo apps - they had just the right balance of functionality & simplicity: an intoxicating mixture which has fueled their amazing growth.

I'm equally fascinated about the culture of IG: what properties are unique to it? What does the platform do well? What does it lend itself to? How can it help business? How does it fit in the broader social media spectrum? etc.

Your Help Required (please!)

To help make my presentation more interesting I'd like to get you to do all the work find out your insights into IG:

• What do you like/dislike about IG?
• What do you think about the culture?
• What interesting ways have you seen it used by people and brands?
• Where do you think IG is going? Video?
• What is the #1 feature you'd like to see on IG?
• What is your all time fave IG photo? (I'd like to show case a few in the presentation)

I can't promise to use all the material in the presentation but I'll certainly be sure to mention it somewhere; I'm guessing in a follow on blog post about your feedback & the presentation etc.

Please give feedback in whatever way you want, here in comments, on Twitter or keep it real in Instagram. The choice is yours.

Many, many thanks in advance for any input you can give on this. You rule :)
