Since its inception only five years ago, Instagram has become a cultural phenomenon. And as with other social media platforms (e.g. Vine, YouTube, Twitter), some users shrewdly utilized Instagram to propel themselves to Internet fame, and even monetary gain. Thus, thanks to tens of thousands—even hundreds of thousands—of devoted followers, many users can rightly claim to be "instafamous." In some cases, followers of these amateur users' accounts rival those of firmly established celebrities. But is there a discernible formula for "instafame?" What do all "instafamous" users have in common? How does one stand out on a such a crowded Instagram field? For this reflection, look at the Instagram accounts of two of the following "instafamous" users:
