Using Instagram's geotag and hashtag features are an awesome way to help others plan their next trip, gain followers, and keep people updated about your adventures. But there are a few rules to follow.
Don't:
- Humblebrag with your geotag — it's awesome that you're staying at the Ritz, but it's much more interesting (and less show-offish) to geotag the restaurant where you're eating.
- Use too many hashtags — a massive block of hashtags is annoying for everyone who follows you. Do you really need #vegan #follow4follow #blessed on a picture of your sandals? NOPE.
- Geotag where you are at that moment — if you've got a public account, tagging yourself in a location while you're still there can be pretty unsafe. Do it after the fact, because you don't know who else is around, looking, and being creepy.
