Facebook Owns Instagram

But what does it truly suggest for customers and Instagramers like us?

After Mark Zuckerberg's official news last evening on his Facebook profile, countless comments showed up. Not just in Twitter but In Instagram too. For everyday Instagramers like us, the Instagram App has actually effectively turned into our major communication tool. An area where we can share more than just pics, but our feelings, belief and our opinions as well.

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

As founder of Instagramers, the primary follower network of the Instagram App around the globe, needless to say that my phone was warm with task last evening. References, concerns, doubts ... I am probably one of the initial Iger getting complaints each day, as it should be!

Lots of people are asking me today what will certainly happen next so I chose to compose this blog post.

The interested feature of this whole story and also our Instagram users experience is that we appear to act in a different way depending on the social networks we utilize.

-- A lot of us are deeply entailed with the Instagram App itself and even state to be addicted. There is a solid feeling of stickyness with Instagram's growing community. A genuine feeling of being part of it via the area. That's why we likewise got exactly what totals up to an unique worry of Android' s incursion right into the Instagram globe, we fear that it could damage our best little world

-- Most of us have actually no suggestion of that possesses our pics rights and also which 3rd party can use it (like in Facebook )

-- Everybody have Facebook account.

-- A big part of our Instagram Pics are daily and normally shared to our very own Facebook walls as well as profiles.

-- According to a current research, as much as 12.5% of the photos published to Twitter could be from Instagram.

-- Our own Instagramers Network of more than 270 regional teams worldwide is organized around Facebook Profiles and also we have a personal team of over 200 "ManIgers" arranging events, instawalks, exhibits, sharing suggestions, offering tips ...

So why are we so frightened of Facebook?

As Net users we won our independence and also autonomy in our choices. We do not want to rely upon establishments or corporations any longer. Instagram up until today resembled a tiny "family members" composed by a couple of young men that developed a fantastic app and altered our lives ... They used to answer personally through the helpdesk facility, @Josh developed on Sunday to release "The week on Instagram" on their blog as well as there was an actual harmony in between individuals as well as owners of the app and so naturally, we are left questioning exactly what will certainly take place currently.

In a picture I posted the other day in @Igers Profile on Instagram (see below in the appropriate side) I received more than 220 unfavorable remarks regarding the purchase. There is no question that some people are really upset may think their legal rights will not be respected which it will probably smell business and also marketing everywhere.

But we need to be mindful that our preferred app could just survive if there is a viable service model behind.

I would certainly conclude that Facebook currently has a billion individuals and that they are absolutely not seeking for 30 million Instagram customers to increase their member ranks. Never. A lot of us are currently Facebookers as well as Mark currently has all our individual information. In addition, Zuckerberg has actually not demonstrated any type of thinking about combining both Brands and also Solutions (at the very least for the moment). He recognizes we don't behave similarly in each social media system we come from which we act in different ways depending on our inspirations. Merging the two platforms under the Facebook umbrella would prompt a huge movement to other photo-sharing applications like Eye' em or Picplz.

I really do think this deal is much more a concern of method as well as keeping Google and other rivals away (Google had actually lately revealed rate of interest for IG). I personally believed that Instagramwould fit better with Twitter. It made more sense to me yet it's appears that Jack Dorsey is truly delighted with his Instagram Shares value today as he was among the first round funding fund investor.

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

A lot more the one million Androiders signed up recently and also absolutely nothing really took place. So why should we be frightened of Facebook this time around?
