TSA obsession continues

Here's a screenshot of my favorite recent post on the @TSA Instagram account. Hope you laugh as hard as I did!

For those as interested in the TSA as I am, here's a quiz to see how much you know.

Instagram photo map

The Instagram photo map has to be my favorite social media feature right now. Creating it provides an incentive to geo-tag photos, and it creates this beautiful map showing all the territory you have conquered!

Restaurants and destinations win because their locations look more popular on social media. FourSquare wins because they are getting checkins. Instagram wins because you're uploading photos, and you win because it makes this super cool map. I look at the photo map as digital scrapbooking, a simple visual showing where you have been and identifying what else there is to try. Try it out!

Let Instagram ads begin

Officially seen my first ad on Instagram, even if it was self-promotion and/or a test. Talk about a seamless integration, but I look forward to seeing if any advertisers using these sees a return on investment.

The offering was open to brands that already have a large following on the platform, listed in this article on CNN Money. Will you be more likely to buy a product if they post hip photos on Instagram? 

The funniest Instagram memes on the Internet

Despite having the app for less than a year, I'm a big fan of Instagram. Pictures + friends in your close community + location tagging and photo maps make for a pretty cool app. So when I see memes or articles that mock this obsession, they are typically hilarious. 

Here are a few Instagram memes I've come across that will make any avid Instagram user laugh!
