Kobe Bryant Tweets a Grotesque Picture of His Surgery, Crosses Social Media Boundaries

In Basketball, Sports / 16 May 2013 / 0 comments

In case you’ve been living under a rock the past couple months, Kobe Bryant has taken up social media in an unprecedented way. After rupturing his achilles tendon, Kobe has embraced the 21st century and has quickly ascended my Power Rankings of Favorite Tweeters and Instagrammers. Congrats Mamba, you’re my number one! Recently, he’s been giving updates on his rehab as he tries to prove his haters wrong and comeback from his most devastating injury of his career. But Kobe crossed a line this past week. A social media line, that is usually reserved for the creepy people on the internet not named Kobe. He Instagrammed a picture of his achilles surgery and it was the most disgusting picture I’ve seen since Kevin Ware’s broken leg made its way on the interwebs.

In Technology / 2 November 2012 / 0 comments

Another HUGE win for Instagram, proving that it is the biggest, baddest social network in the game. Jeff Bercovici of Forbes recently wrote that Time had great success after hiring five Instagrammers to document Hurricane Sandy. The resulting collection on Lightbox, Time’s photography blog, was “one of the most popular galleries we’ve ever done,” says Kira Pollack of TIME, and it was responsible for 13% of all the site’s traffic during a week when Time.com had its fourth-biggest day ever. Time’s Instagram account attracted 12,000 new followers during a 48-hour period. One of photographer Benjamin Lowy’s photos even ended up getting selected for the cover. While the level of resolution isn’t perhaps what might be achieved with a camera, says Pollack, “It reproduced beautifully. There’s almost a painterly quality to it.”

With the acquisition of Instagram for $1 Billion, only the brilliant minds at both companies know whats to come in the months ahead.
