A few months ago, I discovered a website that analyzes your Instagram account. I did a post about it back in March but then totally forgot about the site and the stats. See, I don't actually use Instagram as a branded extension of this blog. Like my Pinterest account, my Instagram isn't maximized to gain me new followers or to grow my blog. I can only focus on so many things at once, and while I do use the mission of Betsy Transatlantically to guide my Pinterest and Instagram habits, I also use them for fun.
And boy has it been fun! I signed up for Instagram in early 2012 but had to steal Jon's mobile to use it - it wasn't until I moved back to DC and switched my BlackBerry to an iPhone in early June that I was able to become the Instagram addict I am now. Did I want to know that I've posted 1,265 photos since I registered or that 203 of those were shared in May 2013 alone? Maybe not, but it is interesting! I'm not going to leverage the stats on Statigram for any real purpose, but I'm loving that it shows me the organic way Instagram connects me to you even more spontaneously than this blog does.
So I thought I'd share your favorite Instagrams from my account like I did in March. It's fascinating to see what bits of my life you like the most!
I have to say it's really heartening to see your favorites, dear readers. It's not like I'm the greatest photographer anyway, but it's really lovely to know that your picks aren't the styled vignettes I create - well, inasmuch as anything I Instagram is styled - but the totally candid and personal pieces of what I'm up to at the moment. Charlie's sulking in the corner right now, but I want to say thank you. And thank you especially to Eliza, Gesci, Jackie, Whitney, and Stacey Beth, who were my most engaged followers in Instagram over the past month! (See, I told you this is a cool website!)
