As I said, I will try to do something different for the next contest. I didn’t see an easy way to pull all users using specific hashtags into a list on Instagram and I admittedly didn’t know about the direct message feature. Instagram seems specifically geared to only work well in their app rather than having a web interface (you can’t add pictures or even comment from the web). There’s not even an iPad app, just the iPhone app at double resolution. I’m not a business so I’m not going to pay for 3rd party analytic tools and other tools to manage multiple social media accounts. I’m just saying, Instagram doesn’t make it easy for people like me to do this kind of giveaway. I was just trying to “pay it forward” and give away some of the cool stuff that YoYoExpert and other other sponsors are awesome enough to provide. Sorry if I’m not using the social media site you prefer. ---

Instagram is definitely about the app, not the web interface. Someone might have made a good Chrome or Firefox extension for it, but going to [instagram.com](http://instagram.com) isn’t going to yield useful tools. ---

Sorry if I’m not using the social media site you prefer. I’m sorry if I made that sound rude, I felt kind of offended when you said I should have Twitter because I have instagram. That to me is like saying I have a YoYoExpert account so I should have facebook. ---
