Instagram and also Twitter are raving with activity ever since the news appeared that Facebook had actually made the acquisition of Instagram for a billion bucks - Facebook Owns Instagram.

Today very important media as well as blogs are mirroring as well as publishing pages and also web pages regarding the bargain, whether it is economic aspects, marketing strategies for both business and also the possible following growths in Palo Alto's mobile and also social network industry ...

If I was a Hollywood film manufacturer, I would certainly have called the film a Billion Dollar Child ...


Facebook Owns Instagram


However what does it truly imply for individuals as well as Instagramers like us?

After Mark Zuckerberg's official announcement last night on his Facebook account, countless comments showed up. Not only in Twitter yet In Instagram as well. For day-to-day Instagramers like us, the Instagram Application has efficiently turned into our primary interaction device. A place where we could share more than merely images, however our sensations, ideological background and also our viewpoints also.

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

As owner of Instagramers, the main fan network of the Instagram Application around the globe, obviously that my phone was hot with task last night. References, inquiries, questions ... I am probably among the very first Iger getting grievances every day, as it needs to be!

Lots of people are asking me today what will occur next so I made a decision to create this post.

The curious thing about this whole story and also our Instagram individuals experience is that we seem to behave differently relying on the social networks we utilize.

-- Most of us are deeply entailed with the Instagram Application itself and even declare to be addicted. There is a strong sensation of stickyness with Instagram's expanding community. A genuine sensation of belonging to it through the community. That's why we also caught on to just what amounts to an unique worry of Android' s incursion right into the Instagram globe, we are afraid that it can ruin our excellent little globe

-- The majority of us have truly no idea of who owns our photos legal rights and which 3rd party might use it (like in Facebook )

-- All of us have Facebook account.

-- A huge part of our Instagram Pics are everyday and also normally shared to our very own Facebook walls and also profiles.

-- According to a recent study, as much as 12.5% of the images uploaded to Twitter could be from Instagram.

-- Our own Instagramers Network of greater than 270 regional teams around the world is arranged around Facebook Profiles as well as we have a personal team of over 200 "ManIgers" arranging occasions, instawalks, events, sharing ideas, providing tips ...

So why are we so terrified of Facebook?

As Net users we won our self-reliance and autonomy in our choices. We do not wish to count on institutions or firms anymore. Instagram up until today resembled a little "household" composed by a few young individuals who established a remarkable app and changed our lives ... They used to answer personally with the helpdesk center, @Josh worked up on Sunday to publish "The week on Instagram" on their blog and also there was an actual harmony in between customers and also proprietors of the app and so normally, we are left questioning what will certainly happen now.

In an image I posted the other day in @Igers Profile on Instagram (see below in the appropriate side) I obtained greater than 220 adverse comments about the procurement. There is no doubt that some people are actually disturbed could assume their rights will certainly not be respected and that it will probably scent company and also marketing everywhere.

However we need to be conscious that our preferred application could just survive if there is a practical company version behind.

I would wrap up that Facebook already has a billion users and that they are absolutely not seeking for 30 million Instagram customers to increase their member rankings. Not at all. The majority of us are currently Facebookers and also Mark already has all our individual info. Additionally, Zuckerberg has not demonstrated any interested in merging both Brands as well as Providers (at least for the moment). He recognizes we do not act the same way in each social media sites system we come from and that we act in a different way relying on our motivations. Combining both platforms under the Facebook umbrella would provoke a substantial movement to various other photo-sharing apps like Eye' em or Picplz.

I really do believe this bargain is a lot more a question of technique and maintaining Google and also other rivals at bay (Google had actually recently shown rate of interest for IG). I personally thought that Instagramwould fit better with Twitter. It made more feeling to me however it's appears that Jack Dorsey is truly satisfied with his Instagram Shares worth today as he was one of the first round resources fund investor.

I think that (for the very least a couple of months, possibly a year ...) there will certainly be no vital modifications in our Instagram Application which all the same, it is worthless to try to prepare even more than that.

Much more the one million Androiders registered recently as well as absolutely nothing actually took place. So why should we be terrified of Facebook this time around?
