Instagram has announced in a blog post that it will be rolling out online profiles over the next few days, a feature that provides users with a new way to view and share Instagram photographs on the web.
Each profile, that can be easily edited directly from the web, features a profile photo and bio and also displays recently shared photographs for other Instagram users to view. In addition, users can follow others, comment on and like their photos. However, users won’t be able to upload images to their accounts from the web as “Instagram is focused on the production of photos from mobile devices,” states the blog.
The resemblance of the profile layout to Facebook’s Timeline is not entirely surprising as it was acquired by the social network in early April.
Each new profile can be found using instagram.com/username.
What do you think of Instagram profiles?
