Instagram creates curated videos

Curated content is the new thing, with major social sharing sites serving up their best content in bite-sized chunks for your enjoyment.

The latest service to get in on the curated content action is Instagram, which launched a 'Best Videos' feed specifically for Halloween. This surfaced as a video stream shown at the top of your feed and when clicked brought you into a long, looping series of videos with a scary or spooky theme.

Apparently the company was adding new and appropriate content for a full 24 hours over the Halloween holiday and users could even send in suggestions with the tag #IGHalloween. The result is like a better version of your own feed, all tied to the same theme but also with a strong element of user interaction.
