With over a hundred million users,
and millions of precious moments taken every single day,
Instagram is one of the most popular applications
on the mobile web.
But, did you know you can add your Instagram
account to your HootSuite Dashboard to manage
your photostream and conduct keyword searches?
Well you can, and it's awesome! Let me show you how.
In your dashboard, go to the app directory.
You can quickly locate the Instagram app by
typing it in to the search field.
Install the app and add the stream to a new tab
or if you prefer, an existing tab on your dashboard.
Now, connect your Instagram account by authorizing the app.
And, voila! Your photo stream is now on your dashboard.
You can now comment on and like photos
in your stream. But what's really cool is the ability
to create specific search streams around keywords
and hashtags.
To do that, simply click on the magnifying glass
on any Instagram stream.
Now, type a keyword into the search field on this stream.
Just a note, you don't need to use a hashtag.
Hit search and see the results roll in.
This stream will now give you the latest images
that have been tagged with that search term.
A great way to monitor all sorts of keywords and
hashtags that relate to your interests or your business.
You can create as many streams as you like to stay
in the know about what's trending on Instagram.
And just like that, the retro-filtered Instagram universe is alive on your HootSuite dashboard.
Thanks for watching, and please stay tuned for more
