social media eats up so. much. time. i have a facebook page, which i'm pretty good at updating i attempt to update more often than not. recently i decided to join twitter. i still haven't gotten used to it, but i'm trying. then there is pinterest and instagram {search for penelopespress}, they have quickly become my new favorites. i will write up a future post on my thoughts on social media + building your business, but for now, if you have an iphone {or ipad2}, you must get on the instagram boat. instagram is a free + fun iphone app {sorry android users, i think instagram is still figuring out a version for you} that allows you to share photos {after all, isn't that what people really want? after all the text, don't they just want to get to the photos?}. there are built in filters that can edit your photo to give it a vintage feel, enhance your colors, etc. i just started using instagram, but it can quickly become addicting. here are some of my recent instagram photos:
wire baskets from container store...
trying to organize my wood type...
organizing supplies in my new built in bookcase...
packaging a wholesale order...
my last order for 2011...
last packages of 2011...
standing at the bus stop in spring-like weather in january...
standing at the same bus stop 24 hours later, but in snow...
after some googling, i found http://instaport.me/ the site allows you to download your instagram photos to your desktop {strangely, you have to download the entire set each time, not just your most recent photos... a little annoying, but maybe an instagrammer out there has a better suggestion?} join the fun... i'll see you over at instagram!
