MODERATORS
They might become interested once they have a platform that targets them. I know it's a little different from people who jumped on to MySpace or early Facebook because we started with text posts, not really pictures. It's still true that younger people love to post their thoughts or opinions thinking that others care as much as they do.
It could also be a good tool for "celebrities" to directly interact with their followers. Instagram's interface isn't really set up for that.
