Today Instagram introduced a new feature called Instagram Stories but you will notice that it is a definite similarities to an app we’ve all been using for some time now called Snap Chat?

This is a new feature that lets you share all the moments of your day, not just the ones you want to keep on your profile. This is a smart way to get the best of both worlds or apps you could say.

As you share multiple photos and videos, they appear together in a slideshow format: your story (again Snap Chat) but a better format where you can choose to post permanently to your wall or temporary to your story – I love this feature!

With Instagram Stories, you don’t have to worry about over-posting. Instead, you can share as much as you want throughout the day — with as much creativity as you want. You can bring your story to life in new ways with text and drawing tools. (again Snap Chat has drawing tools too)

The photos and videos will disappear after 24 hours and won’t appear on your profile grid or in feed. (aaahhmmm Snap Chat)

This is definitely not a complete copy cat, there are notable differences, but there are drawbacks as well, right now looking at all of the user comments it doesn’t look to work on Chromebooks, iPod touch or iPad as of yet, but they are probably aware and working on that issue and as it was launched I’m sure more will protrude out. Happy Snapping!

For now check it out and see what the excitement is about!  https://www.instagram.com/p/BIm9-50BOuf
