Instagram, the New Facebook?

March has been a month of changes for Instagram. First, improvements to videos as mentioned in my previous blog post and now a not-so-welcomed feed change. The looming change in Instagram's feed will display photos and videos from accounts you are following based on an algorithm. Posts will be displayed based on popularity and other social signals versus its current chronological order. Sound familiar?

Instagram may be taking cues from its big brother and owner, Facebook which made the same algorithm move back in 2009.

After a frenzy of complaints from Instagrammers, Instagram tweeted the below. The cryptic tweet may mean the change isn't imminent but I have a feeling it'll be on the horizon soon enough.
