Facebook Owns Instagram


Yet exactly what does it really indicate for users and Instagramers like us?

After Mark Zuckerberg's official statement last night on his Facebook account, hundreds of comments showed up. Not only in Twitter yet In Instagram as well. For daily Instagramers like us, the Instagram App has actually effectively become our major communication tool. A place where we could share more than just pictures, however our feelings, ideological background and also our point of views too.

Yesterday, our @Igers pic mentioning the "Facebook bargain" made it to the Popular Web page, no surprises there ...

As creator of Instagramers, the major follower network of the Instagram Application around the world, needless to say that my phone was warm with task last evening. Mentions, concerns, questions ... I am most likely one of the very first Iger receiving problems each day, as it should be!

Lots of people are asking me today what will certainly occur next so I determined to create this message.

The curious feature of this whole story and our Instagram customers experience is that we seem to behave in different ways relying on the socials media we utilize.

-- Most of us are deeply entailed with the Instagram Application itself or even declare to be addicted. There is a solid sensation of stickyness with Instagram's expanding neighborhood. A genuine feeling of being part of it via the area. That's why we additionally figured exactly what amounts to a special worry of Android' s attack into the Instagram globe, we are afraid that it can ruin our best little world

-- A lot of us have really no concept of who has our pictures rights and which 3rd party can utilize it (like in Facebook )

-- Everyone have Facebook account.

-- A significant part of our Instagram Pics are daily and naturally shared to our own Facebook walls and accounts.

-- Inning accordance with a current study, approximately 12.5% of the images submitted to Twitter could be from Instagram.

-- Our own Instagramers Network of more than 270 regional groups worldwide is organized around Facebook Profiles as well as we have a personal team of over 200 "ManIgers" arranging events, instawalks, exhibitions, sharing concepts, providing ideas ...

So why are we so frightened of Facebook?

As Net users we won our self-reliance and freedom in our selections. We do not want to rely on establishments or companies anymore. Instagram till today resembled a small "household" made up by a couple of young individuals that developed an amazing app and altered our lives ... They utilized to address directly with the helpdesk center, @Josh worked up on Sunday to publish "The week on Instagram" on their blog and there was a real synergy in between individuals and also proprietors of the app and so naturally, we are left questioning what will occur currently.

In a picture I posted the other day in @Igers Profile on Instagram (see here in the appropriate side) I received more than 220 adverse comments regarding the procurement. There is no doubt that some people are really upset may assume their civil liberties will certainly not be appreciated which it will probably scent business and advertising and marketing almost everywhere.

However we have to be aware that our favored application could only survive if there is a practical business model behind.

I would certainly end that Facebook currently has a billion individuals and that they are certainly not seeking for 30 million Instagram users to enhance their member ranks. Never. The majority of us are currently Facebookers and Mark already has all our personal details. Furthermore, Zuckerberg has not demonstrated any thinking about combining both Brands as well as Solutions (at least for the moment). He recognizes we don't act the same way in each social media platform we come from and that we act in a different way depending upon our motivations. Combining the two platforms under the Facebook umbrella would certainly prompt a huge movement to other photo-sharing applications like Eye' em or Picplz.

I truly do believe this bargain is more a concern of method and maintaining Google and also various other rivals at bay (Google had actually recently shown passion for IG). I directly assumed that Instagramwould fit far better with Twitter. It made even more feeling to me however it's seems that Jack Dorsey is actually pleased with his Instagram Shares worth today as he was one of the first round capital fund capitalist.

I believe that (for least a couple of months, maybe a year ...) there will certainly be no essential adjustments in our Instagram Application which all the same, it is useless to attempt to intend further compared to that.

Extra the one million Androiders signed up last week as well as absolutely nothing really happened. So why should we be frightened of Facebook this moment?
