Instagram trumping room reveals?

[hesitantbride]

I've been noticing a new D&R blog trend, where bloggers tease you and say to follow their instagram accounts for sneak peaks to the room reveals or next projects. I was thinking that perhaps this was because it is a lot less labor intensive (I presume) to take a picture with a phone camera, upload it instantly, and write little to no text rather than go through the blog process.

Have you noticed this too? I don't really follow anyone on instagram, but it seems like a lot more bloggers are going this route, at least for teases.

are you talking about in the fun lane?? It's not a tease I don't think. I am sure she will post the reveal on her blog.
It's just that instagram is fast and easy. They don't have time to write a post,but can take 20 seconds to snap and post a pic showing the progress/details, etc. I think it's a nice service for their readers to do this, and in Holly's case I doubt she will NOT post a blog post in favor of just doing a few instagram pics _I am sure we will get a full tour of lexington on the blog but that takes a lot of typing and photo taking...

The lettered cottage does too... I think it's just another way of connecting, like Facebook, twitter...

Instagram annoys me.

I've found this to be true of blogs in general...I've seen a ton lately that say something like "didn't have time to blog so here's our week in instagram photos." I could care less...I want a blog post. I'm not even a fan of using instagram though...

Also, sometimes real life gets in the way of updating one's blog.
