Nowadays Instagram is quite popular and has become one of the most prominent photo sharing apps on the market. It is a photo-sharing network that can be downloaded to your smart phone as an app. Think of it as Facebook with only photo sharing.

By adding the Instagram on Blogger as a widget, you may fulfill the statement, "A picture paints a thousand words" as you can have a new visual aspect of that site and allow visitors to go beyond just words on a page. With the convenience to carry the application around on your smartphone wherever you go, you can snap pictures, apply filters, and upload that content to your profile. From the profile, a widget specially designed for Instagram on Blogger would translate that data and display the image on your site. Even those visitors that aren't members of Instagram could benefit from such a service.
