Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.

Difference Between Facebook & Instagram
Unlike Facebook, Instagram centers around photo and video content creators, sharing their passions, and connecting with others who enjoy following their content.
Instagram is for passionate photographers and videographers, or people who just like to share their life or passions through images and videos.
What’s the deal with #Hashtags?
Hashtags are used to spread your shared content to anyone who searches or follows that exact hashtag.
Example: If you share a picture, only people you are friends with or follow you will see it.
If you use a hashtag like #Colorado, (simply type the hashtag in as a comment) it will now share it to anyone who follows or searches for that hashtag.
This helps you spread your post to people instantly across the world that have similar interests.
Pictures & Video
Let's look a bit more in-depth how Instagram presents pictures and videos to its audience.

Instagram Stories
Stories are made for friends and family to share more of their lives with those they are close with. The feature makes it possible for people to show more content without creating an excess of posts on their Instagram page.
Stories last for only 24 hours, and allow people to get a glimpse into your day to day. You can always see who views your story.
Instagram Stories appear in a bar at the top of your feed — When there’s something new to see, their profile photo will have a colorful ring around it.
To view someone’s story, you simply need to tap on their profile photo, and their story will appear full-screen, showing you all of the content they’ve posted in the last 24hrs, the content will play in chronological order from oldest to newest.
Is Instagram Right For Me?
Instagram is right for you if…
…You enjoy sharing your pictures and videos with others.
…You like to stay away from political views, news, and others opinions.
…You like following interesting people, places, or businesses.
If you are a more visual person, Instagram is right for you. Instagram is a simplified and visual version of Facebook, you can chat and connect with others through photo sharing and commenting.
Privacy
You can make your profile private or public. Many strangers may try to follow you, you can always deny or block them from contacting you in the future.
When your profile is private, other users can only see your profile picture, and request to follow you. You can follow others, without them following you back if you just want to stay updated on their latest posts.
History
Twitter was an idea that was started by Jack Dorsey, Co-Founder, in 2006.
It was originally started as an SMS (Text Message) based platform that quickly turned into what it is today, by 2007 when the platform had its first major growth in users.
“Tweeting” became the tagline for posting on Twitter.
“Tweeting” is posting short messages (280 characters) for anyone who follows you on Twitter, with the hope that your messages are useful and interesting to someone in your audience.
Similarities to Facebook
Twitter is fairly similar to Facebook in many ways. Twitter uses a feed-based structure much like Facebook, and allows for comments in much the same way. You can like tweets, share tweets (Retweeting), notifications, and directly message the tweeter.
However Twitter uses a followers and following platform of “friends”. You follow people who you want to see their posts, and people follow you who want to see your posts.

GroovyTek did a great job! My trainer was on time, professional and she solved my slow computer. Great job, GroovyTek! I will use your services again.
We have had several help sessions with a GroovyTek trainer. WE could not be more pleased. My trainer takes all our questions and while answering types up his answers so even after he leaves, we can refer to his notes. I would recommend GroovyTek to any of my friends or family without hesitation. BTW, ALL the employees at this firm are extrememly knowledgeable and friendly.
I had a serious issue with my bank website not being secure. This was a very technical problem. I used the Remote Session option to get help. My GroovyTek trainer kept at it until we finally resolved the issue.
My tech is patiently bringing me (at age 79) into the computer age. I am so glad that I found him through GroovyTek. What a wonderful gift!
I had a session with GroovyTek over the phone today. It was extremely helpful to me because I was able to see everything that he was doing on my computer as he was talking. I was then able to follow his actions to do what he was doing as well. What a way to go!
I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.
I have always had the best computers that Apple offered, but the problem was that I never knew how to use them. Thanks to my GroovyTek trainer, my tech skills have increased exponentially and I am feeling more competent and confident with each lesson.
The trainers are so friendly, and helpful. They certainly have lots of patience and knowledge. They make you feel so comfortable asking questions you would not dare ask your family to show you again how to do. They are always welcome in my home, sometimes I hate to see them go!
Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.
I'm very pleased with my session today with GroovyTek. My trainer was able to fix both my computer and my printer (problems with both) and instructed me on how to correct the issues if they occurred in the future. We also made plans for my next session. I find GroovyTek sessions extremely helpful and convenient since they are in my home.
I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.
A wonderful service in every aspect from calling in to set up an appointment with GroovyTek and follow ups as well as the fabulous help, patience and expertise of the tech who came to the house to work with me with my computer issues. I would highly recommend GrooveyTek for all your computer needs! Thanks so much!
Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!
