Facebook Owns Instagram

But just what does it actually suggest for users and Instagramers like us?

After Mark Zuckerberg's main statement last evening on his Facebook account, countless comments appeared. Not only in Twitter yet In Instagram also. For daily Instagramers like us, the Instagram Application has actually properly transformeded into our major communication device. A place where we could share greater than merely pictures, yet our feelings, belief and our viewpoints too.

Yesterday, our @Igers pic discussing the "Facebook deal" made it to the Popular Web page, not a surprises there ...

As creator of Instagramers, the major fan network of the Instagram Application worldwide, needless to say that my phone was hot with task last evening. Mentions, inquiries, doubts ... I am probably among the first Iger receiving issues each and every single day, as it ought to be!

Lots of people are asking me today what will take place following so I chose to write this post.

The interested feature of this whole story as well as our Instagram individuals experience is that we appear to behave in a different way depending on the socials media we use.

-- A lot of us are deeply entailed with the Instagram Application itself as well as declare to be addicted. There is a strong sensation of stickyness with Instagram's expanding neighborhood. A real experience of belonging to it with the area. That's why we likewise figured exactly what amounts to a special anxiety of Android' s attack right into the Instagram globe, we are afraid that it could damage our ideal little globe

-- A lot of us have actually no suggestion of that has our photos rights and which third party could use it (same as in Facebook )

-- Everybody have Facebook account.

-- A massive part of our Instagram Pics are day-to-day and normally shared to our own Facebook wall surfaces and accounts.

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

-- Our own Instagramers Network of greater than 270 local teams around the world is organized around Facebook Profiles and we have a personal team of over 200 "ManIgers" organizing events, instawalks, exhibitions, sharing concepts, offering ideas ...

So why are we so scared of Facebook?

As Web customers we won our self-reliance and also autonomy in our options. We do not want to rely on institutions or firms anymore. Instagram up until today was like a tiny "family" made up by a few young people that created an impressive app and also changed our lives ... They made use of to answer personally with the helpdesk center, @Josh developed on Sunday to release "The week on Instagram" on their blog site and there was a real harmony in between individuals and owners of the app therefore normally, we are left wondering just what will certainly take place now.

In a photo I published yesterday in @Igers Account on Instagram (see below in the ideal side) I received more than 220 adverse comments concerning the procurement. There is no doubt that some individuals are really disturbed might believe their legal rights will not be appreciated and that it will possibly smell company and marketing anywhere.

But we need to be mindful that our preferred application can just subsist if there is a feasible organisation design behind.

I would certainly wrap up that Facebook currently has a billion customers which they are certainly not seeking for 30 million Instagram individuals to improve their participant ranks. Not at all. Most of us are already Facebookers as well as Mark already has all our personal details. Additionally, Zuckerberg has not demonstrated any kind of interested in merging both Brands and Services (at the very least for the moment). He knows we don't behave similarly in each social networks system we come from which we act differently relying on our motivations. Merging the two platforms under the Facebook umbrella would certainly provoke a large movement to other photo-sharing apps like Eye' em or Picplz.

I really do believe this offer is a lot more a concern of strategy as well as maintaining Google and also other rivals at bay (Google had just recently revealed interest for IG). I directly believed that Instagramwould fit much better with Twitter. It made even more sense to me however it's appears that Jack Dorsey is really delighted with his Instagram Shares worth today as he was one of the first round funding fund investor.

I believe that (for the very least a couple of months, maybe a year ...) there will certainly be no crucial adjustments in our Instagram Application and that in any case, it is pointless to aim to plan further compared to that.

Extra the one million Androiders signed up last week and also absolutely nothing actually took place. So why should we be frightened of Facebook this time around?
