Look who's in Instagram: Barack Obama

When you think of Instagram, imagine those guys with plaid shirt, jeans weird, glasses that do not draw attention, and love a cupcake? Think again. The tool is no longer the exclusive hipster crowd just to round up the most powerful man on the planet. Chuck Norris Barack Obama, the charismatic president of the United States of America, opened its own in Instagram.


Barack Obama became famous for the campaign that made social media to raise funds to finance the presidential race. He said he would give up the publicly funded, then that promise did not materialize and, in addition to taking money from the Internet, used the figures provided by the government to play the campaign.

And what is the significance of the arrival of President Instagram? Rightly so, reinforce the importance of Instagram through social media. With an iPhone in hand and an application in iOS, any user can take to itself the right to produce photos with different effects, interesting. What Clive Thompson in the January issue of Wired magazine calls the "new way of seeing" (photos, in this case).

In January we had the confirmation that the Instagram grows by leaps and bounds as a place to share photos. You are on the same footing of TwitPic and Yfrog, with 16% of all photos uploaded to Twitter, according to numbers from a website that specializes in indexing images. Not bad.

Want to follow the Prime Instagram (Instagram the President)? It's @ barackobama. Simple.

While their president keeps using the internet to maintain dialogue with the public, our dear Dilma promised to use Twitter more in 2011 and then disappeared. If it was a campaign promise, we would have a reason to complain.
