[Video Link] I like using Instagram when I'm traveling (see my photos here). David also is an Instagram user. I picked up some good tips on this video, "Casey Neistat's guide to not sucking so bad on Instragram." I especially liked the part where he compares Ricky Rozay's Instagram feed (very good) with Justin Beiber's (bo-ring).

But do I really have to go easy on the tilt-shift filter, Casey?

    Who the hell has time to live their life and generate a running documentary about their life at the same time. I’m looking at YOU Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

    “If Facebook is Lucky Charms, Instagram is just the marshmallows.” Yeah, makes you wanna puke after 2 spoonfuls.

    I’m just gonna say that – not even just as a vegetarian, who can’t eat marshmallows – they’re the shittiest part of the cereal. And is that Duran Duran I hear in the soundtrack? Why yes it is.

    I have used instagram, but all the photos I see posted using it look terrible.

    FOR THE LOVE OF THE FSM…

    Take pictures if you want. Apply filters if you like. DONT DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME OR THE KITTY GETS IT!

    PS No one cares about your lunch.

    Is this some passive aggressive thing, where people don’t even bother to check how to spell Justin Bieber’s name.

      I think it must be. It’s not like Ricky Rozay’s feed is *actually* better.

    how is the puppy guy’s instagram any different from Justin’s?  Both pix of the same thing over and over
