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 customers now.
What's wonderful concerning it is that it is very fast - specifically compared to Facebook.
With the Facebook iPhone application, there are 6 screens a user needs to go through before a user can actually take a photo. With Instagram, there is one.
In February, we defined Instagram as the greatest risk to Facebook.
Mark Zuckerberg simply announced the information on Facebook:
I'm excited to share the news that we've agreed to acquire Instagram which their gifted team will be signing up with Facebook.
For years, we've focused on developing the best experience for sharing pictures with your loved ones. Currently, we'll be able to function a lot more very closely with the Instagram group to also use the very best experiences for sharing gorgeous mobile images with people based upon your rate of interests.
Our company believe these are various experiences that enhance each other. But in order to do this well, we need to be mindful about keeping and improving Instagram's toughness and attributes as opposed to simply attempting to integrate everything into Facebook.
That's why we're committed to structure and also expanding Instagram independently. Millions of individuals worldwide enjoy the Instagram app as well as the brand associated with it, and our objective is to help spread this application and brand to a lot more people.
We assume the fact that Instagram is linked to various other solutions beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience. We intend on keeping functions like the capacity to post to various other social media networks, the capability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, and the ability to have fans as well as adhere to individuals separately from your good friends on Facebook.
These and several other functions are necessary parts of the Instagram experience and also we comprehend that. We will certainly try to pick up from Instagram's experience to construct comparable functions into our various other products. At the same time, we will try to help Instagram continue to grow by utilizing Facebook's strong engineering group and also facilities.
This is an essential landmark for Facebook since it's the very first time we've ever before acquired an item and business with a lot of users. We don't plan on doing many more of these, if any type of in all. Yet offering the very best image sharing experience is one reason why a lot of individuals enjoy Facebook as well as we knew it would deserve bringing these two firms with each other.
We're anticipating working with the Instagram team as well as to all of the wonderful brand-new experiences we're going to be able to construct with each other.
