The popular mobile photo sharing app called instagram has recently been bought by Facebook. They offered Instagram a whopping 1 billion in cash and stock options to become part of Facebook, which made a scrappy San Francisco based startup with only 13 employers suddenly very rich. In just 18 months instagram has racked up over 35 million downloads and the newly released android version last week already has over a million downloads and counting. Many users of instagram are afraid that Facebook will completely change this app, and it will no longer be the free photo enhancing and sharing app it used to be before. In the end a lot of users dont blame instagram, it is quite a lot of money that facebook has offered and in the end they just want to get the bread.
This is quite interesting because why would Facebook all of a sudden want a little photo sharing app, what are they planning to do with it? What plans do they have in store, and what exactly could they do with this program anyway?
