Instagram Rolls Out Profile Badges
Photo sharing site Instagram have just launched “Instagram Badges” as an easy way to help users promote their profiles across the internet.
The badges are similar to the buttons and badges shown on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and will link people from other sites to your Instagram profile page.
The badges aim to help brands and users to endorse their official profiles with fans and followers across the web. Now that users can follow other people’s profiles online, this update may increase social traffic.
Instagram has been popular with celebrities and brands even before the site was attained by Facebook. Since then, Facebook have taken a more focused look into how brands can use Instagram as part of a broader social strategy.
To get your own Instagram badges, go to instagram.com/accounts/badges and follow the instructions by clicking on the icon you want, copying the JavaScript and pasting it onto your website or blog.
What do you make of Instagram badges? Will you be installing one on your website?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below or via Twitter.
