Facebook Owns Instagram
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 currently.
What's excellent about it is that it is extremely quick - especially compared to Facebook.
With the Facebook apple iphone application, there are 6 displays an individual has to go via before a user can really take a picture. With Instagram, there is one.
In February, we described Instagram as the biggest danger 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 which their gifted team will certainly be joining Facebook.
For many years, we have actually focused on building the most effective experience for sharing images with your friends and family. Now, we'll be able to work much more carefully with the Instagram group to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile pictures with people based upon your passions.
Our team believe these are various experiences that match each other. Yet in order to do this well, we need to be conscious concerning keeping as well as building on Instagram's toughness and also features instead of just trying to integrate whatever right into Facebook.
That's why we're committed to building as well as growing Instagram separately. Millions of individuals worldwide like the Instagram app as well as the brand related to it, as well as our goal is to assist spread this application and also brand to a lot more individuals.
We believe the truth that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is a fundamental part of the experience. We plan on keeping features like the capacity to upload to other socials media, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, as well as the ability to have followers as well as follow people individually from your buddies on Facebook.
These and also lots of various other functions are necessary parts of the Instagram experience and we comprehend that. We will try to gain from Instagram's experience to build similar functions right into our various other products. At the same time, we will try to help Instagram continue to grow by using Facebook's strong design team as well as facilities.
This is an important milestone for Facebook due to the fact that it's the very first time we've ever acquired an item as well as company with so many users. We do not intend on doing many more of these, if any kind of in all. However providing the best picture sharing experience is one reason that so many people enjoy Facebook as well as we knew it would deserve bringing these two companies with each other.
We're looking forward to collaborating with the Instagram team and to every one of the wonderful new experiences we're mosting likely to have the ability to develop together.
