Instagram Bought By Facebook

Instagram is a mobile-only photo-sharing application. It grew from 1 million customers in January 2011 to 15 million in December 2011. It has 30 million customers now.

What's terrific concerning it is that it is extremely rapid - especially contrasted to Facebook.

With the Facebook apple iphone application, there are 6 screens a user needs to go through before an individual can in fact take a photo. With Instagram, there is one.

In February, we explained Instagram as the largest hazard to Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg simply revealed the information on Facebook:

I'm excited to share the information that we've agreed to obtain Instagram and that their talented group will be signing up with Facebook.

For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your loved ones. Currently, we'll be able to function a lot more closely with the Instagram team to also provide the very best experiences for sharing gorgeous mobile photos with individuals based on your rate of interests.

We believe these are various experiences that match each other. Yet in order to do this well, we need to be mindful concerning maintaining and building on Instagram's toughness as well as functions as opposed to just attempting to integrate whatever right into Facebook.

That's why we're devoted to building and expanding Instagram separately. Numerous people worldwide love the Instagram app as well as the brand connected with it, as well as our goal is to help spread this application and brand to much more individuals.

We assume the reality that Instagram is connected to various other services beyond Facebook is an integral part of the experience. We plan on maintaining functions like the capability to publish to other social media networks, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, as well as the ability to have followers and adhere to individuals independently from your friends on Facebook.

These and several other functions are essential parts of the Instagram experience and also we understand that. We will certainly try to learn from Instagram's experience to construct comparable functions right into our various other products. At the same time, we will certainly try to help Instagram remain to expand by using Facebook's strong engineering group and facilities.

This is a crucial turning point for Facebook due to the fact that it's the very first time we have actually ever obtained an item and firm with so many customers. We don't intend on doing much more of these, if any type of in any way. But supplying the most effective photo sharing experience is one reason that so many individuals like Facebook and we understood it would deserve bringing these 2 firms together.

We're looking forward to collaborating with the Instagram group and to every one of the great new experiences we're going to be able to develop with each other.
