Here are the questions and the thoughts I shared.</h2> <p>Storified by Michael R. Beck · Tue, Apr 10 2012 14:55:13</p> <div>If you’re curious about @Instagram and how photo sharing could impact your business… right now we’re talking about it on #HSUchatMichael R. Beck</div> <div>Q1. What social networks do you use to share photos? Which is your favorite? #HSUchatHootSuite University</div> <div>A1. Flickr had been my favorite until @Instagram. Thanks to @Instagram’s sharing & filters, it’s as much a tool as it is a network. #HSUchatMichael R. Beck</div> <div>@mikerbeck agreed! it is definitely it’s own social network – more of a community than a network, perhaps? #HSUchatTaylor at HootSuite</div> <div>Q2. Do you share photos from one social network to another? Eg send Instagram photos to Facebook, Tumblr to Twitter? #HSUchatHootSuite University</div> <div>A2. @Instagram is definitely my photo sharing hub. Works great with Flickr as they end up on people’s blogs via creative commons. #HSUchatMichael R. Beck</div> <div>Q3. Do you follow any brands on photo sharing sites like Instagram, Tumblr, or Pinterest? Why or why not? #HSUchatHootSuite University</div> <div>A3: I like @NHL on Instagram – lots of variety of photos and they don’t overdo it. The @DetroitRedWings are great on Pinterest. #HSUchatJoseph Wesolek</div> <div>#nhl #hockey #jump #chicagoblackhawks #blackhawks #hawks #coreycrawford #crawford #detroitredwings #redwings #gustavnyquist #nyquistHannah Moores</div> <div>A3: I now follow 2 brands on @Instagram thanks to tweet by @JosephWesolek a few minutes ago: @NHL and @DetroitRedWings #HSUchatMichael R. Beck</div> <div>Q4. Do photos play a large role in your social media strategy? What kinds of photos? #HSUchatHootSuite University</div> <div>A4 I get a lot of traffic through creative commons Flickr photos that people have used on blog posts & link back to me #HSUchatMichael R. Beck</div> <div>Ingham County Courthouse – Mason, MichiganMRBECK</div> <div>Q5. Are photos better used to engage with your community or to showcase a product? Or both? #HSUchatHootSuite University</div> <div>A5 Photos are great for showcasing a product & engaging with community. I know we’re talking Instagram, but Pinterest shines here. #HSUchatMichael R. Beck</div> <div>Thanks so much for joining #HSUchat this week! Always great to have you – next week we’ll be exploring social business.HootSuite University</div>
