Gray’s Anatomy – Tags and Likes By Richard Gray
It’s Friday already and at theappwhisperer.com that means its time for Richard Gray’s ‘Gray’s Anatomy’ column article. This week Richard takes a good look at tags and hashtags and ponders whether auto tagging via apps is the way to go. Over to you Richard (foreword by Joanne Carter). I was at a pub quiz last night.

On Instagram, if you get a certain number of likes, you get on the popular page,…

Gray’s Anatomy – It’s Not Really A Cloud
Friday is here again and that means just one thing at theappwhisperer.com, Richard Gray’s Gray’s Anatomy Column. This week Richard discusses the recent downtime at Instagram and considers the unthinkable. Over to you Richard. (Foreword by Joanne Carter). ‘Instagram was down briefly yesterday morning. There was quite a long outage a few months ago when the world seemed to stand still. People began, quite literally, to twiddle, if not their thumbs, then their fingers, aimlessly. And the photos posted by people just prior to the outage enjoyed hours of exposure on all their followers’ screens. I had to look at a plate of sweet and sour chicken for three hours.…
