The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Megan Willett:  "Of course sex appeal has something to do with it, but there are plenty of sexy Instagram accounts that don't have nearly as many followers.  So how did Victoria's Secret get so popular?"

Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight, November 19, 2015 5:59 PM

Victoria's Secret is a master class in how to elevate a brand and reconstruct social meaning.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Aja Romano:  "The Spider-Gang gets a new crime to solve on Instagram."

Kristin Russell's curator insight, December 10, 2015 10:13 AM

I think this is a great idea. Making this instagram series gives Spiderman fans the ability to test their minds and see if they can solve the mystery. It also allows them to connect with the Spiderman story to. Until the next movie comes out fans can join this Instagram idea and still be involved in the idea of Spiderman.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Olivia Goldhill:  "This year, magazines are set to struggle. As readers increasingly move online, print publications far and wide should expect to lose readers. But if you can’t beat them, join them—and by the looks of decades-old magazines sharing their content on Instagram, that’s exactly what several historic publications intend to do."

Taylor Casti:  "Special effect Vine and Instagram videos are among the most popular within each app. Want to make one yourself? We'll teach you how."

Vine and Instagram have provided unique platforms for users to showcase their creative ability. While a few seconds with a cellphone camera seems very limiting as a way to share videos, users continue to astound these social networking communities with their unique and clever approaches.

Dean Meyers's curator insight, September 5, 2013 7:48 AM

Handmade stop action videos and other visual goodies in the 6-second format are becoming extremely popular and probably the greatest source of Vine's version of viral spread of content.
