Introduction to Instagram [clone]

Understanding functional and computational needs for the Instagram service.

What is Instagram?

Instagram is a free social networking application that allows users to post photos and short videos. Users can add a caption for each post and utilize hashtags or location-based geotags to index them and make them searchable within the application. A user’s Instagram posts display in their followers’ feeds and can be seen by the general public if they are tagged with hashtags or geotags. Alternatively, users can choose to make their profile private, limiting access to those who have chosen to follow them.
