Evelyn M. Rusli at The Wall Street Journal, talking to Instagram’s new director of business operations Emily White:<\/p>\n
\u00a0Ms. White said some retailers also are interested in ad products that will allow users to click on pictures of products that link to a retailer’s own site. But she expressed reservations about such a system because many mobile websites need improvement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I think one of Instagram’s strongest, but hardly-mentioned-at-all features is that you can’t include a link to a website, not as a caption, and not as a comment.\u00a0The day they switch that on is the day every part of Instagram becomes infested with spam.<\/p>\n
Personally, I think they need find a way to tap into the creative small businesses that have sprung up on Instagram<\/a>, and work from there. Ads have to happen though, especially now that they recently\u00a0hit 150 million users<\/a>.<\/p>\n
It’s going to be a tricky balancing act for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Evelyn M.
