If you go by technical language , Instagram is a free photo sharing program launched in October 2010 that allows users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it on a variety of social networking services, including Instagram's own. A distinctive feature confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras.
Instagram was initially supported on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch; in April 2012, the company added support for Android camera phones running 2.2 (Froyo) or higher. It is distributed via the iTunes App Store and Google Play.

I believe one is at his best when he is able to express his inner thoughts be it by written stuff , music , words depending on your expertise and none the less photographs also . How about you feel like you are on a move and you see a beautiful rainbow with a drizzle on a brand new car you own . You get an inner thought to live the moment , capture it , share it .
If you do get these feelings , Instagram is a helping companion .. with which you can capture a moment , edit it for which the application provides a lot of options , by editing it means giving it your own flavor ... share it ...
The peers following you , gets a notification with speed of light that you have something interesting to share or infact cheer . they might like it which makes you feel amazing about yourself . Thats the beauty of photosharing .
