Cute frames (4 more)
Can add location info to each photo if wanted
Can decide who, specifically gets to see each photo
Alerts you if someone screenshots your photo (unlike Instagram, where a private profile is only as private as the friends you allow on it let it stay...sometimes, that's a really bad feature of Instagram)
Temp stickers are definitely fun when sending photos whining about the weather to friends and family across the country

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley for an unbiased opinion.
We live in a world where everyone can become "famous" in a matter of mere moments. Houts has a devote following on Instagram where she is considered "Instagram's favorite illustrator". To me, this collection of dark and satirical illustrated essays ran like a stream of entertaining consciousness best enjoyed while just a touch stoned. Would I buy this book as a gift for someone else? Probably not. Would I recommend following Houts on Instagram for entertainment value? Absolutely, and already have (she's jooleeloren on Instagram).
My favorite from the book: "How To Be A Perfect Feminist", though the adventures of the four women of the Apocalypse were pretty great, too.

Clearly, I'm getting old now, because I don't think I really "get" Instagram. You can share photos on Facebook, you can share photos on Twitter - and you can do it via your computer on both of them. Instagram just seems to be another way of doing the same thing, but in a more limited way.
That said, I do have it on my phone and have used it a few times, it's just that I find it easier to find what I'm looking for on Facebook. The feed on Facebook seems to react more readily to show me more from the groups and people I interact with, while the Instagram feed seems much more hit and miss.
I find the inability to upload pictures from the computer a little frustrating, as I would probably use it more often then, in which case I would probably come to understand its purpose more!
