Facebook Owns Instagram


However what does it actually imply for users and Instagramers like us?

After Mark Zuckerberg's main news last night on his Facebook account, hundreds of remarks appeared. Not only in Twitter but In Instagram also. For everyday Instagramers like us, the Instagram App has actually successfully transformeded into our main interaction tool. An area where we could share more than simply pics, however our sensations, ideological background and our viewpoints as well.

The other day, our @Igers pic discussing the "Facebook deal" made it to the Popular Web page, no surprises there ...

As founder of Instagramers, the primary follower network of the Instagram Application around the globe, needless to say that my phone was hot with task last night. References, inquiries, questions ... I am possibly one of the initial Iger obtaining problems every single day, as it should be!

Many people are asking me today what will certainly occur following so I decided to compose this article.

The curious aspect of this whole story and also our Instagram customers experience is that we seem to behave in a different way depending upon the social media networks we utilize.

-- A lot of us are deeply entailed with the Instagram App itself as well as proclaim to be addicted. There is a strong feeling of stickyness with Instagram's expanding area. A real experience of becoming part of it via the community. That's why we likewise caught on to just what amounts to an unique anxiety of Android' s incursion into the Instagram world, we fear that it might damage our perfect little world

-- A lot of us have really no concept of that has our images legal rights and which third party could use it (like in Facebook )

-- Everybody have Facebook account.

-- A substantial part of our Instagram Pics are everyday and also normally shared to our own Facebook wall surfaces and accounts.

-- Inning accordance with a recent study, up to 12.5% of the pictures submitted to Twitter could be from Instagram.

-- Our own Instagramers Network of greater than 270 regional groups worldwide is arranged around Facebook Profiles as well as we have a personal group of over 200 "ManIgers" organizing occasions, instawalks, exhibits, sharing ideas, giving pointers ...

So why are we so frightened of Facebook?

As Web customers we won our self-reliance and autonomy in our choices. We do not intend to count on establishments or companies any longer. Instagram until today was like a little "household" made up by a few young individuals who established an amazing application and also transformed our lives ... They utilized to address personally through the helpdesk facility, @Josh worked up on Sunday to publish "The week on Instagram" on their blog and there was a real synergy between customers as well as owners of the application and so naturally, we are left wondering what will occur now.

In an image I uploaded the other day in @Igers Account on Instagram (see here in the appropriate side) I received more than 220 unfavorable comments regarding the procurement. There is no doubt that some individuals are really distressed may think their rights will certainly not be valued which it will probably scent business as well as advertising everywhere.

But we need to be aware that our favored application could only survive if there is a sensible organisation version behind.

I would end that Facebook already has a billion customers which they are definitely not seeking for 30 million Instagram users to boost their participant ranks. Not at all. A lot of us are currently Facebookers and Mark already has all our personal details. Additionally, Zuckerberg has not demonstrated any type of thinking about combining both Brands and Solutions (at least for the moment). He understands we don't act similarly in each social media platform we come from which we act in a different way relying on our motivations. Merging the two systems under the Facebook umbrella would prompt a massive movement to other photo-sharing applications like Eye' em or Picplz.

I actually do believe this offer is much more an inquiry of technique and also keeping Google as well as various other competitors at bay (Google had actually lately shown passion for IG). I personally believed that Instagramwould fit better with Twitter. It made more sense to me however it's seems that Jack Dorsey is really satisfied with his Instagram Shares value today as he was one of the first round capital fund investor.

I think that (for least a couple of months, maybe a year ...) there will be no important adjustments in our Instagram Application and that regardless, it is pointless to aim to plan better than that.

More the one million Androiders signed up recently and also absolutely nothing truly happened. So why should we be frightened of Facebook this moment?
