Instagram a video-sharing site changed the social network
The Instagram world was abuzz last week when founder and CEO Kevin Systrom announced the inclusion of video to the photo-sharing social network site.
The new feature enables Instagram users to also upload a 3- to 15-second, square-filtered video. Simple editing tools, such as going back to delete several frames and a single pause/record button are included in the video mode.
Special filters were also created for video, and the mode also includes video stabilization.

Uploading a video takes longer (naturally) than a photo, but the similar square format with no obtrusive playback bar creates the illusion of a moving photograph, almost quite like the moving photos described in “Harry Potter.”
The news was met with equal parts excitement and derision. The folks who felt that stills weren’t enough to fulfill their creative sharing needs were thrilled at finally having more leeway to share what they were seeing/thinking, while the rest who have been treated—if it can be called that—to tons of selfies and duck faces were frightened at the thought of a feed filled with animated selfies and a 360-degree of outfits of the day. Indeed, it was timely that “Instagram with Video” was launched the same week as “World War Z,” because video selfies are just as frightening as a zombie-filled metropolis.
