Instagram has restrictions on the aspect ratio of pictures.

Sometimes I like to consider an analogy between social networks/apps and bars. Just like a bar has a certain decor or a unique beverage or some other quirk that gives it its charm, each popular social network has some different constraints that give it it's unique feel.

Instagram has restrictions on the aspect ratio of pictures.

I definitely think this is one of the reasons Instagram is so popular, together with the low resolution. It lowers the bar for when a picture is as good as it gets which makes people more prone of posting it.

wasn't Path, the restricted social network?
