Summary | Instagram is the new place where beauty ideals are reproduced and policed. Such hashtags as the #thighgap and the #bikinibridge let users pull up a sea of skinny women's bodies which can be compared with each other. Although these trends are said to be about fitness and health, but the comments and likes show that the trends are more about a beauty ideal. This is misleading and dangerous.

Summary | Instagram has become the second most active social media platform after Facebook so it is a great place for companies to advertize their product - or rather their brand. Instagram is all about visual storytelling so it is a prime platform to develop one's brand by presenting a certain look or attitude. Instagram offers various visual formats - from image posts over stories like on Snapchat to videos and livestreams. It is important to be thorough when choosing hashtags as these determine who will find the post. Many hashtags are ambiguous so one really has to be in the know to skillfully ascribe hashtags.
