Instagram has been the breakout social media star of the 2012 Summer Olympics. Users of the wildly popular mobile app have shared just over 100,000 photos from the Games over the past two weeks.
Athletes post behind-the-curtain shots that give their followers previously unimaginable levels of Olympic access. Fans share photos from venues and landmarks as individual keepsakes, and to share memories with friends who aren't in London. Journalists are even getting into the act, uploading casual Instagram shots to go along with their more traditional news-gathering tasks.
