The 10 Types of Instagram Users

Instagram is a great app for sharing creative and unique pictures. We have to admit though, we're starting to see some patterns emerge in the users we follow.

In an incredibly thorough and highly scientific process, we narrowed down all of Instagram into 10 users. These users are everywhere, they weave in and out of our lives and feeds, constant, like the North Star or Kevin Bacon. You'll recognize them instantly -- they're your friends, family, colleagues. They are you.
