Game changer.

It was only a matter of time and I'm shocked they are just now testing this. Maybe people will stop including long links in their posts that I don't remember or pointing me to the "link in their bio." How would active hyperlinks in posts change Instagram? I know editing posts changed my life. Hyperlinks may allow me to die in peace. -NN

Interesting idea, I like it! Seems quick and easy.

Pros and cons to this. Depending on the exact way it gets implemented on the user side, it's either going Big Brands with a minimum budget/follower ratio or it turns into a segmented mess of Craigslist ads mixed with pics and boomerangs from your nephews 6th birthday.

Can somebody help me? witch promotional bot is better? I only used ingramer.com, how bots are different from each other? Do you know good sites to read about it? Is it worth it all?

E-commerce is just lovely in all it's shapes and sizes isn't it?! "If you build it...shops will come!" - Instagram

@bobkevin nah completely changes IG and what they are: a photo sharing platform. Now its a shopping app? No thanks. Super annoying to me. Seems too cluttered and complicated. More ads more links, lame. I think people will start to walk. They are already walking away from IG. Everyone wants the next best thing... I hope someone creates a new photo sharing platform thats better/ not a shopping app. annoying

@afashionnerd i hear you. But IG will always be IG. Timelined photos is what they have going for them and people love that. Product design is their user retainer. What they can do is perhaps flawlessly filter the Commerce content and make it easily accessible.

This will be huge if Shopify can integrate with it like they can with Facebook.
