Instagram work out for Facebook yet?

I have no idea why companies go nuts and buy companies like this.

Because you keep your friends close and your enemies closer ... I think they bought Instagram to prevent it from cutting into their platform.

Verbal is right, most of all those deals is simple buying your competition and controlling your market.

Although I do not use Instagram, I happen to think you are clueless as to just how popular Instagram really is. It was a great acquisition, and the first of it's kind. There are many imitators now. Instagram is a massively successful service.

The advertising part is kind of difficult because Instagram is only a mobile app. The desktop website is not really something people use.

There could be a couple of other reasons, 1. The user base. There are millions of users on instagram. Some have facebook, some don't. A lot of people I know got rid of their facebook account since they have instagram. It is kind of like facebook but without the bullshit drama. (for the most part). They will probably be using there #hashtag engine sooner or later. It also providers more content for facebook. Since people who have both usually post on instagram and it automatically goes onto facebook. So even if the user never signs into facebook again. They are still flooding their profile with content.

i don't fb but it seems to me like the relationship b/w fb and ig is similar to reddit and imgur. but i'm still trying to wrap my brain around reddit/imgur so i could be wrong.
