Instagram is currently the social media platform most associated with online images (and their analysis), but images from other platforms also can be collected and grouped, arrayed by similarity, stacked, matched, stained, labelled, depicted as network, placed side by side and otherwise analytically displayed. In the following, the initial focus is on Instagram, together with certain schools of thought such as Instagramism and Instagrammatics for its aesthetic and visual cultural study. Building on those two approaches, it subsequently focuses on other web and social media platforms, such as Google Image Search, Twitter, Facebook and 4chan. It provides demonstrations of how querying techniques create online image collections, and how these sets are analytically grouped through arrangements collectively referred to as metapictures.

Instagram 目前是与在线图像（及其分析）最相关的社交媒体平台，但也可以收集和分组来自其他平台的图像，按相似性排列，堆叠，匹配，染色，标记，描绘为网络，并排放置并以其他方式分析显示。在下文中，最初的重点是 Instagram，以及 Instagram 主义和 Instagrammatics 等某些思想流派，用于其美学和视觉文化研究。在这两种方法的基础上，它随后将重点放在其他网络和社交媒体平台上，例如 Google Image Search、Twitter、Facebook 和 4chan。它演示了查询技术如何创建在线图像集合，以及如何通过统称为元图片的安排对这些集合进行分析分组。
