Editor’s Note: The response to yesterday’s TIME MAGAZINE: THE WIRELESS ISSUE COVER BREAKDOWN AND #TIMEWIRELESS INSTAGRAM USERNAME IDENTIFICATION PROJECT has been incredible. Several IGers contacted me and mentioned they no idea their instagrams were ever selected, which really makes all the research that went into this project worthwhile.
I want to note that I did write a letter to the editor after I found my instagrams explaining that it would have been nice to credit instagram usernames, but that letter to the editor was never published (to my knowledge). I’ve asked my assistant, Anastasia to further explain how the research project was conducted. Below is more information, as well as the names (and instagram usernames) of the IGers whose images we were able to identify. Congratulations to all of you! – Jen Pollack Bianco
To make it simple to find one particular image we’ve turned a cover into a kind of chessboard- with letters and number codes for each row and column. Now every image can be easily found. For example, Jen’s instagram from Rome Piazza Del Popolo has 6O code. To find it on cover just go down the “O” column until you gain the 6th row. Here it is!
Now you can find every instagram we’ve identified. And here are 63 more, identified by location on the cover and their IG username, and real name (if given).
