> I have to say I am a true old fuddy-duddy when it comes to Instagram as I can’t think of a single use for it that appeals to me.

On Facebook, people present a polished version of their lives as if it's reflective of everything in their lives.

On Instagram, the purpose is to show polished (and "filtered") versions of what you're doing. I like that Instagram is a bit more honest about what it really is.

Yes this seems to be the purpose, but as a 40 something married man I don’t have too much interest in presenting a polished photographic image of myself to the world :)

Aside from that, its a neat way to consume art or nature/sport/hobby photography without the fluff of facebook

This seemed the best use for Instagram, but my phone is not the best device for looking at art.
