Instagram Bought By Facebook
Instagram is a mobile-only photo-sharing app. It grew from 1 million customers in January 2011 to 15 million in December 2011. It has 30 million users currently.
What's terrific about it is that it is really fast - particularly compared to Facebook.
With the Facebook iPhone app, there are 6 screens an individual needs to go via before an individual can actually take a photo. With Instagram, there is one.
In February, we explained Instagram as the greatest hazard to Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg just revealed the information on Facebook:
I'm delighted to share the news that we've consented to obtain Instagram which their gifted team will be joining Facebook.
For years, we've focused on developing the most effective experience for sharing photos with your family and friends. Now, we'll have the ability to function much more closely with the Instagram group to additionally offer the most effective experiences for sharing attractive mobile pictures with people based on your rate of interests.
We believe these are different experiences that enhance each other. Yet in order to do this well, we need to be conscious regarding keeping and also building on Instagram's staminas and attributes as opposed to simply attempting to integrate every little thing right into Facebook.
That's why we're devoted to structure and also expanding Instagram individually. Countless individuals all over the world love the Instagram app and the brand name connected with it, and our goal is to aid spread this app and also brand to even more people.
We think the reality that Instagram is linked to various other services past Facebook is a fundamental part of the experience. We plan on keeping features like the ability to upload to various other social networks, the capability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you desire, and also the capacity to have followers and follow individuals individually from your friends on Facebook.
These as well as many other attributes are very important parts of the Instagram experience and we comprehend that. We will attempt to gain from Instagram's experience to construct comparable attributes right into our other products. At the same time, we will certainly try to assist Instagram continue to expand by using Facebook's solid design team and infrastructure.
This is an important milestone for Facebook because it's the very first time we've ever gotten a product as well as firm with a lot of users. We do not intend on doing much more of these, if any in all. However offering the most effective picture sharing experience is one reason that so many individuals like Facebook as well as we understood it would deserve bringing these 2 business with each other.
We're looking forward to collaborating with the Instagram group and also to all of the excellent new experiences we're going to have the ability to construct with each other.
