"Ever wondered (episode - 1)" why Instagram was all about photos? Imagine a world before smartphones! Back then, Kevin Systrom, a techie from Stanford, had an idea for an app called Burbn. Think Foursquare, but with a twist - you could check in to places and share photos! Burbn was okay, but then something clicked. People were going crazy for the photo sharing feature. So, Kevin and his partner Mike decided to ditch the check-ins and focus entirely on photos. They named it Instagram, a mix of "instant camera" and "telegram," and the rest is history! But why photos? Well, think about it. Sharing a funny meme with friends, capturing a delicious biryani, or showing off your latest travel adventure - photos capture moments and stories in a universal language, way cooler than just text, right? Want to hear more about how Instagram became a giant photo-sharing platform? Follow me for more!!😎
