The TabSite Instagram App will pull in all videos for the hashtag from Instagram within the date range specified in the contest settings and visitors can then vote for their favorite entry. Perfect for the mobile savvy social community, this app enables Facebook Pages to capitalize on the use of Instagram and the power of Facebook for this contest.
