[lace] Instagram versus Facebook
I belong to a few lacemaking groups on Facebook. I’ve opened an Instagram account but I don’t really understand how it works. Can anyone explain please.

Dawn Howell Oh dear, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Llinkedin, passwords, pin numbers, vehicle registration numbers when paying to park my car,mobile phones, learning to use Windows 10 and now even talk of driverless cars - it's all just too much for my ageing brain now that I'm a senior citizen and have grandchildren! Modern technology is wonderful but advancing far too fast for those of us who are no longer in the workplace and needing little use for it all. I'm a very organised creature of habit and even my local supermarket sends me an email the evening before I do my weekly shop, to tell me the discounts that are available on such items as deodorants, hairspray, dishwasher tablets etc that I might have bought only the week before and certainly don't need to replace just one week later! 'Big Brother' is watching me and nothing is private any more! When I was a child we grew up without central heating, television, washing machines, credit cars, land line telephones and certainly not mobile phones, petrol was rationed so hardly anyone owned a car, we never locked the back door as no one had anything worth stealing! We had an air raid shelter in the garden, washed our milk bottles and put them back outside for the milkman to collect, would take empty lemonade bottles back to the Off License to get 6d (2 1/2p in todays money), we recycled them in those days, so nothing new there! Life was simple but we were happy!

Re: [lace] Instagram versus Facebook
OK Devon, you have uncovered me. I confess that I am purplenana6. I started using Instagram a couple of years ago because that was the platform my children were using. I find it useful as a visual diary for myself and family especially when travelling. (I do have a catsitter in my house when travelling) . I am still learning how to use it and found the memo on how to use hashtags informative. Other Aussies that people could follow are Vicki Taylor larrikinlace and Lindy De Wijn lindydewijn .

[lace] Instagram versus Facebook
Speaking as the editor of the facebook page of the International Organization of Lace, Inc., I can confirm that Facebook is being eclipsed by Instagram for younger lacemakers. I joined Instagram at the first meeting of the Brooklyn Lace Guild when I realized I would be totally out of the loop if I wasnât on it. Fortunately the other members were there to help me join and teach me how to tag. A video of me making lace at the Bust Craftacular event at the Brooklyn Expo Center which appeared on the Brooklynlaceguild Instagram account has now been viewed 45,305 times. I follow the lace artist Penny Nickels known as hagknight, and Manca Ahlin, known as mantzalin, Also in the Lace, not Lace show are alexgoldberg maggiehenselbrown, e.j.parkes Members of the Brooklyn Lace Guild include kathco_, redhandledscissors, erenanaomi , therapeuticlace. Also, there are some of my own generation on Instagram. You know who you are, purplenana6 ! When one posts on Instagram one posts a single photo. Frequently these photos are very cleverly posed and arranged so that they tell an entire story in one picture. With these well posed, and very compelling photos, it is possible to convey messages to people regardless of what language they speak. âVisual literacyâ is a term that IOLI social media guru Julie Envoldson used to describe this. Anecdotally, when my daughterâs cat set up its social media presence, it did not bother with facebook choosing only Instagram to detail its activities such as eating, and sleeping.
