So… I received this email. And I have a few questions:
1) How does just 1,111 uploads crash Instagram?
2) I cannot reconcile “some 9,000 runners said ‘cheese’ and Instagrammed” and “a final count of 1,111″. Some 7000+ runners used the wrong hashtags?
3) Who else is grossed out by the idea of having to “get close and put their heads together” for a photo with other runners?
4) Instagram should have crashed between 3.30-7.30pm when runners are supposed to be uploading Instagram posts. But it seems the reports came in later, as shown in the CNA article: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/instagram-temporarily/1778956.html So… who to believe? ;)
