Instagram Feed Changes- BUMMER!?

Instagram announced today that they will be changing your feed from chronological to Algorithmic! Similar to Facebook Instagram will use what it knows about you to display posts it thinks are most relevant to you first.   For now they say that ALL posts will still be visible but I have to say it feels just like a matter of time until certain posts get buried and after that- maybe needing to pay to promote...   I do know I have seen more ads on instagram in the last few months.    What are your thoughts?

See the Moments You Care About FirstMARCH 15, 2016You may be surprised to learn that people miss on average 70 percent of their feeds. As Instagram has grown, it’s become harder to keep up with all the photos and videos people share. This means you often don’t see the posts you might care about the most.

To improve your experience, your feed will soon be ordered to show the moments we believe you will care about the most.

The order of photos and videos in your feed will be based on the likelihood you’ll be interested in the content, your relationship with the person posting and the timeliness of the post. As we begin, we’re focusing on optimizing the order — all the posts will still be there, just in a different order.

If your favorite musician shares a video from last night’s concert, it will be waiting for you when you wake up, no matter how many accounts you follow or what time zone you live in. And when your best friend posts a photo of her new puppy, you won’t miss it.

We’re going to take time to get this right and listen to your feedback along the way. You’ll see this new experience in the coming months.

Facebook Scrapbook - Smarter Photo Galleries of your Kids

Facebook has added a feature that provides parents a way to collaboratively build a gallery of photos of their children (or pets). Until now most parents tag their partner in kid photos so that those photos show up in both parent's timelines. In the new method you devise a tag to use - could be your child's name, nickname or something made up - you decide and only you and your partner are able to add the tag to photos and the gallery is accessible to you both.Currently you must be in a named relationship on Facebook to share ownership of a tag and only two people can share a tag, making extended family sharing impossible. A work around is for those people to tag you and then you add the child/pet tags. They are also working on a notification system when new photos are added to the scrapbook - helpful for the grandparents.Just remember that while Facebook is great for SHARING photos you shouldn't treat it as a backup/photo archive. Facebook compresses your images and resizes down to 2048 x 2048, too small for real printing. Keep your precious memories backed up someplace that doesn't heavily compress and resize your images. Smugmug, Zenfolio and Flickr are all great options for displaying full resolution images that can be downloaded without quality loss.What do you do with all your child/pet photos?My How-to Video:  Facebook's Overview Video
