instagram?

[Ken Gargett]

i have been convinced that i should be on instagram. one reason i held off was that i assumed that it would be beyond my dinosaur-era tech skills to join but, so far, it seems remarkably easy. although i am at a brick wall for whatever happens after one joins.

but it has left me beyond depressed. the algorithm or whatever that "makes recommendations' has decided the person i should be most likely to follow is mily cyrus. shoot me now. my life has come down to a machine thinking i have something/anything in common with her. 

it gets worse. in my top eight are a couple of kardashians and a jenner or two and katey perry, who i seem to remember was a singer some years ago. 

anyway, i am now apparently kengargett on this thing. i'm not really sure what happens now. i'm off to talk to my people. apparently, i now have people.

actually i think that is me following them - national geog and bruce! i found him.

adding you now! add habanos official 

[PrairieSmoke]

I got a good laugh out of this post! The more people you follow and the more pages you visit the algorithm will improve. It’s pretty bleak when you start out!

[Raskol]

Added you & welcome to IG! Ken

thanks all. i think i am slowly getting the hang. if i miss anyone, please let me know (perhaps by email or message).

I know nothing about Instagram as well...but if a guy like KEN finds it useful, I’m intrigued. Is it anything like Facebook (which I abandoned a few years ago) where you’re inundated with the opinions of people and trolls you don’t even know? Or is it mostly photos?

 Maybe a little foreplay first with a NV Riesling?

did not know there was such a thing. 

[betadawg]

Gave you another follow.

Mostly photos but it depends on what you choose to follow.

[Zigatoh]

Followed, but you need to add at least 50 hash tags per post and start doing obvious product placement as though you'd been drinking product x multiple times a day forever and no mention of sponsorship or freebies of course...

  It's replaced my morning newspaper while I'm eating my breakfast, the news is too much these days. So I can just flick through pics of my interests, bits of tasty cigars, history stuff etc. It's like a little shot of your interests without getting too deep.

  You need to get into the teeth whitening advertising gig Ken, you'll be well on your way to stardom with only minor hits to your self respect

Added.  I don’t post much anymore but see it daily.

I also followed your IG account just now - House of Habanos

Welcome to IG Ken, it is a little better than FB, but not much since FB now owns them, it used to be great......like the old internet, anyway I've been on IG for years, and yes I too follow Miley (he she shows an occasional nipple, c'mon) anyway, if you want to see me my hand, face, hats, and cigars follow me IG: irratebass

 

BTW I followed all who mentioned their IG's already.......you're welcome

[stogieluver]

Do yourselves a favor and follow the Seinfeld IG’s.

Almost seems like being “Friends” with someone on FB. Flowing their posts and pictures. Seems redundant. Maybe I am wrong.

b.dinning for myself.

I avoid all social media other than this and a few other cigar forums. I'm convinced it is the cause of much of the world's problems.
