According to MediaTakeout.com, the rapper named Drake got caught trying to talk to a model on the social network, Instagram. The post on Drake’s profile has since been deleted. Which is kind of suspect on Drake’s behalf

I think it’s funny considering the fact he says (in the post) he’s working on a “quiet project”, but the whole world of Instagram knows that there is a project. So it isn’t so quiet after all. (Lol)

AND.. Is it me? Or does this “model” resemble the famous songstress, Rihanna? Maybe it’s the light eyes, or maybe it’s the Roman numeral tattoo on her neck.. But she reminds me of RihRih.

Am I wrong? What do you guys think of this?

Sacrificing Instagram

As of recently, I deleted my Instagram account and I must say it has been difficult adjusting to my new Instagram-free lifestyle. As being a former user with over 2,500 followers and posting pictures daily it’s hard to not think about posting new material all the time.

A lot of my friends are even upset because I’ve deleted my profile (I guess they liked the content I used to post). But even though I have a lot of friends upset with me about the decision, it doesn’t compare to the heartache it’s caused in my personal romantic relationship. So with that being said, I deleted it in order to maintain a healthy relationship with my boyfriend.

Although I know the decision was drastic, I do know I’m not the only one that has gone through this dilemma. Social networking sites have been known to cause relationship problems. And it makes me ask, do you think social media impacts a relationship in a positive or negative way? Have you went through the same thing to maintain a relationship? Comment with your thoughts.

Private Messaging on IG

So apparently, Instagram is going to make an addition to their social media platform by adding private messaging. So now followers are going to be able to send you a private messages.

Personally, I doubt I will like that addition because I already don’t like the comments some of my followers make on my photos. So giving my followers the option of private messaging me isn’t ideal.

Ever since Facebook took over Instagram, Instagram has become more like Facebook by adding photo tagging, and now private messaging. I think Instagram should stay the same as how it first started. I think users like being able to just like photos and post the occasional comment. I don’t think users want to have the private messaging Instagram plans to offer.

Am I alone on this? What do you think? Do you like the idea of bringing private messaging to Instagram?

Twitpic Timelines

As of today, Tuesday October 28th, the major social media site called Twitter made a big change to the appearance of their timeline. No longer is it necessary to click a link in order to view a picture on your timeline, pictures are automatically displayed on your timeline. This is a major change considering the fact that Twitter has never changed the appearance of their timeline.

Because this is a major change to the social network, it leaves one to wonder if their loyal users will like the change or get turned off about it. Some people are worried that they might be forced to see pictures that they don’t want to see, being that the pictures automatically pop up when scrolling through the Twitter newsfeed. And others worry that this will give way to display ads. Despite all the worries about the timeline reform, Twitter allows users to turnoff the setting of having picture automatically display.

I personally don’t use Twitter too often, but I have an account that I occasionally update. I think that is great that they applied this change to the Twitter timeline– because it’s less of a hassle for users to view pics that others share, but I also think that this makes Twitter more like social media sites like Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/) and Instagram (http://instagram.com/). Instagram only allows users to post pictures to their profile and Facebook allows users to post pictures, videos and texts to their profiles. Before the timeline update, Twitter users could only see text on their timelines– no videos, and in order to view a pic the user had to click a link. Because these other leading social media sites (Such as Facebook.com and Instagram.com) offer more to the user, i believe, its forcing Twitter to change in order to keep up– but will the users be able to keep up with Twitter?

Visit Twitter at (https://twitter.com/) to view the timeline changes. If you are already a user, sign into your account, or sign up and set up a new account.
