I'm not in Instagram. Should I be in Instragram? Are you? Obviously I've heard of it, I basically know what it is, but I've never even thought about joining. This morning I went to see what the hell the fuss is about, and found out why I'm not in Instragram.
It's not available for Nokia Lumia. That's why.
WTF Instagram? Why are you excluding my phone and in consequence excluding me?
Obviously I'd buy an IPhone if I was rich. But the last time I checked I wasn't, so I only have a Nokia Lumia.
I've always been a late bloomer when it comes to new technology, I've always let other try things first and if nobody dies, then I'll consider joining. But to find out that I can't join even if I wanted to, well, that makes me kinda sad.
I once got kicked out of Facebook. One day I just couldn't access my account, and all I found was a little text on the screen saying "we believe you're faking to be someone you're not, if this isn't the case, please contact XYZ". Stunned, I contacted XYZ, and he said that they believed I wasn't really me, I was just pretending.
"Why do you think I'm a fake?" "Because" "Well, I assure you I'm me, what can I do to prove it?" "Nothing" "Look buddy, I'm me, I have all my photos tagged and about 500 friends in there who address me by my name, what else do you need?" "Eeeeee, hmmmmm, ok we'll check and let you know".
I was out for about a month. In the mean time I got so angry that I joined Twitter. I hate Twitter, I think it's the stupidest thing ever (it's like a club of stalkers), so you can imagine how desperate I was. Still, I created an account and for a month I posted bad things about Facebook.
After a month I received an e-mail from the good people of Facebook saying "Sorry, our bad, your account has been re-activated". I thought I deserved more than just a stupid e-mail, like a we're-so-sorry-dinner and a box of chocolates, but I caved in and re-joined the community immediately. Haven't touched Twitter since.
I hate to be excluded, it hurts my feelings.
So Instagram, get your shit together and create the app for Nokia Lumia. Don't make me get angry and write bad things about you too.
Please.
