How do you personally use IG?

[Deleted]

Chatting with some girlfriends this week I find it funny how we all use it for different reasons (or at least primarily for that reason). Like my one girlfriend is super private and only uses it to share life moments with her friends and keep track if her friends in return. Another uses it for her business. Another uses it to follow her favorite stores and find deals. I like to use it as a creative outlet and to gain inspiration. I mean we all do a little of each but I found it so cool that we all have our own circles and niches we enjoy using it for.

I don't. I'm an old.

[cbwm1]

Erm. For my dog. He has his own account. <insert embarrassed face here>

[ProfessorArtNerd]

My personal account is for being vaguely artsy and a lot AWy. My cheer team's account is the best way to get messages to the girls and sometimes show off our moves.

[bania]

Random photos. I like taking pictures and looking at other's photos too. I follow people I know and others I find inspiring.

[candyland]

I don't either.

I love it! I admit I would do this, but I would feel bad for singling out my favorite dog, so then I'd have to do three accounts so... Yeah. Too much work so they end up taking over my feed a lot.

Mine is 96% pictures of my kid, and the other 4% is miscellaneous stuff like selfies or pictures with my husband.

@professorartnerd bania do you guys care about the overall feel of your feed? Or do you mostly just focus on how each photo looks? I feel like I care too much about how all my shots vibe as a whole lol.

[tinybride]

For business. I also post some personal pictures if it's relatable to the business.

I use it for inspiration too.

[lilafowler]

I'm so behind

[aliciaflorrick]

I use it for a little bit of everything. I post pics if I am doing something fun or someplace I have traveled. I follow some fashion bloggers, nature photographers and friends/family.

[MyName]

Mine is 90% pictures of food I cooked and 10% pictures of my sister and me drinking wine.

From what I understand, it is less annoying to do that on IG than FB...

For cheer, if it's too many messages, I'll post a photo from practice or something. Yeah, I check out my overall feed, I think. And for my personal, in both subject matter and look, of course. I'm an art historian dude, I have STANDARDS TO UPHOLD

I don't make my photos artistic at all. Just random photos really. I have no rhyme or reason. I was actually looking at my profile as a whole today and thinking about how non fancy it is compared to the bloggers. Lol.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Oh also, I follow different accounts on each profile. I'm not cluttering up my feed with cheer stuff as professorartnerd, ya know?

[waffletime]

Selfies and cat pictures.

[sequins]

Random life stuff. Mostly for me to look back since I don't post on FB anymore. ETA : Like places, food, maddie etc. Not many selfies. Maybe one every few months.

[eb777888]

Oh, just to share my intimate moments with close family and a bunch of ML'ers.

[G22]

I use it for sharing daily stuff. Running, scenery, and my pets are the top 3 things I post about.

[Deleted]

I follow fashion bloggers, celebs, stores and fitness people. I share random pictures of myself, my friends and my family

This is me, too. 

[shopgirl07]

I definitely use it for fashion and home decor/design inspiration. I only have a couple of friends on IG and they're not very active. I only post one or two pics a week on average, mostly of my dog and home decor and pretty scenery.

[rageragerage]

To show off my amazing pets, beer choices and the occasional plate of cheese we are consuming. Riveting stuff I tell you.
