Following up on this...  I'm a new to Instagram myself and today I was searching slings and slinging and was hopelessly engulfed in babyslings and whatnot; so I decide on a different tactic. With a search on #balearicsling who would I find but Tomas.
Instagram would be a great outlet to get people invovled with our hobby. I propose those of us on Instgram band together and use some sort of official hashtag or whatever to have a focused area where people can find actual slings and slinging pictures and of course a prompt to visit slinging.org. Maybe even a official slinging.org account Roll Eyes .
I think this would have real potenial. What do you guys think?

So many different sites you can network through these days. I have to confess I've never even looked into instagram, snapchat, twitter, or any of the other things I hear mentioned. How does it differ than something like Google images? Is it just that you can talk about the images with others?

Morphs you would enjoy instagram. It's full of wicked tactile artists and inspiration. Also lots of funny memes hahaha
I also follow a few people who do knotwork and it is phenomenal what they do.
I have two accounts. #cobblestone_leathers and #tomas_iwanyckyj. Business and personal

I have no idea as to the operations of sites like Snapchat or twitter, but Instagram is best described as a photograghy site where you can like and/or follow/subscribe those who post pictures which correspond with your interests, hobbies, or you just like what they post. By combining hashtags that people follow we can introduce people to slinging who would never have thought to try it.

well if someone wants to do it - you have my blessing.
I don't have the time or inclination for social media. Got to have a facebook account, as it's the only way to get hold of certain people whistle  and the best way to stay in contact with slinging.orgs international contingent.
But the rest, nah don't really see the point.
But then I don't have  a smart phone so my life isn't spent staring at a small hand held screen.

But, yeah, on principle if someone wants to do it as a slinging.org account - let me know if you need me to do anything and go for it Smiley

True geeks use keyboards   Tongue


I am also sans-smartphone and instagram,snapchat and the rest...I don't feel the appeal. Got sibs who do, but for me? No. Facebook I check less and less because the insanity has gotten out of hand. Especially this last election brought the worst out in all my facebook "friends". It's rare that logging in gives me anything other than high blood pressure. So I don't. I have better things to do.

I never had any social media other than this forum before I registered my leather business but it's a great promotional tool

Sounds like CA knows something we don't about smartphones. Wink

I have always thought of facebook as a soapbox/ post what you ate for lunch sorta thing honestly, so I don't think I'll be registering there anytime soon. Of course, like everything there are exceptions like Mauro's page (which is awesome  Cool), but those are generally few and far between.

If you guys are willing, I might run a page, maybe have a picture of the week contest or something. Smiley

My iphone is my primary computer at this point. And RM can attest to my hashtag addiction on Instagram.

Massi - WTF? It's called a sling. You use it to throw rocks farther and faster than you could otherwise. That's all.

Yep, funnily enough dave morningstar always says that.
I'll recommend, fix, and set one up for you - but i don't have any desire to carry one myself
