The ComicsAlliance staff is a diverse lineup writers, editors, artists, photographers and designers, but before we’re any of those things we’re simply fans. Appreciators. Collectors. Almost every day we share with each other via Instagram all the great books, toys, artwork, apparel, and other beautiful and/or inescapably cool objects we collect almost ceaselessly in comics stores, at conventions, and from all kinds of sources all over North America (and sometimes beyond). Displaying (i.e. showing off) some rad swag typically inspires everyone to one-up their pop-archeologist game in the never ending quest to find awesome stuff, and simply posting the week’s new comics usually causes someone to discover a new title or artist, which in turn inspires a whole new line of excavation. In the past we’ve published photos of our “con hauls” here on CA and the resulting discussion with readers — i.e. collector kudos — has always been fun, so with the ComicsAlliance Collection we’re going to do it every week. But more importantly, we want to see your collection too. Show us new additions to your collections by using the hashtag #CAcollection on Instagram and we’ll embed the best stuff alongside our own recent acquisitions. And please do follow us @ComicsAlliance.

My friend reminded me of the greatness of Instagram last night. She did it by showing me an Instagram account dedicated solely to photos of a cat named Bill Furray who has the best catstache I have ever seen!

Spoofing a Nickelback song is going to be funny more times than not. Their music is kind of structured as parody. Well, this particular video was a home run! It goes beyond (the now old) Nickelback joke. The joke here lies in the lyrics, which portray the ridiculousness, self-indulgent nature of social media sharing. Enjoy.

We don't spin any of Diddy's tracks here on the Moose but he has been a very influential man in the music industry. His current endeavor is to start his own television station Revolt TV which will feature live music performances. While that's all well and good, what we want to know is, where in the world is Diddy Instagraming?

I love checking the Instagram feed for Bozeman on nights where Mother Nature makes a real statement. Last night was one of those nights! My little smartphone doesn't take the best photos from far away but these days we're all professionals, right?

Are you curious how the uber-rich live without the filter of the media? Now you can do just that with the help of the Tumblr Rich Kids of Instagram. Just how many designer shopping bags should be under the Christmas tree on Christmas Morning? I lost count around 15.

Facebook knows where you sleep. Facebook owns Instagram. Instagram is going to sell your pictures, because they can according to a new policy taking effect on January 16th, 2012. No, you can't opt out. Yet.

HUSHUSH will blow the rough off of the Gallatin County Fairgrounds this Saturday October 6th starting at 7pm. From now until,well forever, you can tag Instagram photos with the hashtag #hushush2012 and your photos will show up in this live gallery! Check it out!

Spruce Moose 2012 is where you'll want to be this Labor Day weekend. Live music at a great venue with 1000's of your closest friends! Who could ask for more? Inside you can track all of the fun by viewing our live updated Instagram gallery of all the photos snapped by attendees up at Spruce Moose 2012!

I have so many summer memories of Bozeman's Music on Main that I can't even remember them all. I know I'm not the only one carrying that sentiment either. What better way to save those memories then to take a photo and add a stylish filter to it!

Do you have an Android phone or an iPhone? Are you one of the many users of the extremely popular app Instagram? If you are, great! We would love if you followed us at Moose951. If you aren't quite sure what Instagram is, keep reading!

We shared this photo on our Facebook page and it was quickly shared by one of our fans and the following conversation ensued.
