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

What's terrific about it is that it is really fast - specifically compared to Facebook.

With the Facebook apple iphone app, there are 6 displays a user needs to go through before a user can really take a photo. With Instagram, there is one.

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

Mark Zuckerberg just revealed the news on Facebook:

I'm thrilled to share the news that we have actually consented to get Instagram and that their talented team will certainly be signing up with Facebook.

For several years, we have actually concentrated on developing the very best experience for sharing pictures with your family and friends. Now, we'll have the ability to work even more carefully with the Instagram group to also offer the most effective experiences for sharing lovely mobile photos with people based upon your passions.

We believe these are various experiences that match each other. However in order to do this well, we require to be mindful regarding maintaining and improving Instagram's staminas and also features as opposed to simply trying to incorporate everything right into Facebook.

That's why we're devoted to building and also expanding Instagram separately. Countless individuals around the world like the Instagram app and also the brand name related to it, and also our goal is to help spread this app and also brand name to even more people.

We think the fact that Instagram is connected to various other solutions beyond Facebook is a fundamental part of the experience. We intend on keeping functions like the capacity to post to various other socials media, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, and also the capability to have fans and comply with individuals separately from your buddies on Facebook.

These and numerous other functions are important parts of the Instagram experience and also we comprehend that. We will certainly attempt to pick up from Instagram's experience to construct comparable features into our various other items. At the same time, we will certainly attempt to aid Instagram continue to expand by utilizing Facebook's solid design team as well as framework.

This is a crucial landmark for Facebook due to the fact that it's the very first time we've ever acquired a product and company with many customers. We don't intend on doing many more of these, if any whatsoever. Yet giving the best image sharing experience is one reason a lot of individuals enjoy Facebook and we understood it would certainly deserve bringing these two companies with each other.

We're eagerly anticipating dealing with the Instagram group and to every one of the terrific new experiences we're going to have the ability to build with each other.
