First Instagram Post Shows the Earliest Photos of Most-Followed Users

— February 3, 2014 — Social Media
First Instagram Post is a new Tumblr blog that shows you the first posts of Instagram users with over 100,000 followers. The social media photo-sharing service was launched over three years ago and has rapidly grown every year of its existence. A lot of brands and celebrities have over 100,000 followers, but many normal users have also passed that mark as well.

Three years may not seem like a long time, but it's forever in terms of social media and technology. That being said, a lot of the photos on First Instagram Post look like posts you'd see on Instagram today. There are pictures of pets, beautiful scenery and selfies, among other things. If you're a huge fan of the app, it's worth browsing First Post to see if any of your favorite photographers are featured.
