Instagram Sold To Facebook
But what does it actually mean for users and Instagramers like us?
After Mark Zuckerberg's main announcement last night on his Facebook profile, thousands of comments showed up. Not only in Twitter however In Instagram also. For day-to-day Instagramers like us, the Instagram App has effectively become our main communication device. A location where we could share greater than simply photos, yet our sensations, belief and our viewpoints as well.
Yesterday, our @Igers pic pointing out the "Facebook bargain" made it to the Popular Page, not a surprises there ...
As creator of Instagramers, the main follower network of the Instagram Application all over the world, it goes without saying that my phone was warm with task last evening. Mentions, concerns, doubts ... I am most likely one of the very first Iger receiving issues every day, as it should be!
Many individuals are asking me today what will take place following so I chose to write this message.
The curious aspect of this whole story and our Instagram individuals experience is that we appear to behave in a different way depending on the socials media we make use of.
-- Most of us are deeply entailed with the Instagram Application itself and even proclaim to be addicted. There is a strong sensation of stickyness with Instagram's expanding neighborhood. A real sensation of belonging to it with the area. That's why we also got exactly what amounts to a special anxiety of Android' s attack into the Instagram globe, we are afraid that it could ruin our excellent little world
-- A lot of us have really no idea of who possesses our pics rights and also which 3rd party can use it (like in Facebook )
-- Everyone have Facebook account.
-- A massive part of our Instagram Pics are everyday and also normally shared to our very own Facebook walls as well as profiles.
-- Inning accordance with a recent study, as much as 12.5% of the photos uploaded to Twitter could be from Instagram.
-- Our very own Instagramers Network of more than 270 local groups worldwide is arranged around Facebook Profiles as well as we have an exclusive team of over 200 "ManIgers" organizing events, instawalks, exhibitions, sharing concepts, giving tips ...
So why are we so terrified of Facebook?
As Web individuals we won our independence and also freedom in our options. We do not wish to rely upon organizations or firms any longer. Instagram until today resembled a little "household" composed by a couple of young individuals that developed a fantastic application and altered our lives ... They utilized to answer directly through the helpdesk center, @Josh worked up on Sunday to publish "The week on Instagram" on their blog and also there was a genuine harmony between users and also proprietors of the app and so normally, we are left wondering what will certainly take place currently.
In a photo I uploaded the other day in @Igers Profile on Instagram (see here in the ideal side) I got more than 220 adverse comments about the procurement. There is no doubt that some people are really upset could assume their legal rights will not be respected and that it will possibly smell company as well as advertising and marketing all over.
But we have to be mindful that our favorite application could only survive if there is a practical organisation model behind.
I would certainly conclude that Facebook already has a billion users and that they are absolutely not seeking for 30 million Instagram users to boost their participant rankings. Never. Most of us are already Facebookers and Mark currently has all our individual info. Furthermore, Zuckerberg has actually not demonstrated any type of curious about merging both Brands as well as Providers (at least for the moment). He understands we do not act the same way in each social media sites system we come from and that we act in a different way depending on our motivations. Combining the two platforms under the Facebook umbrella would certainly prompt a huge movement to various other photo-sharing applications like Eye' em or Picplz.
I truly do believe this offer is much more a concern of strategy as well as maintaining Google and also various other rivals away (Google had actually lately shown interest for IG). I directly believed that Instagramwould fit much better with Twitter. It made even more feeling to me yet it's seems that Jack Dorsey is truly delighted with his Instagram Shares worth today as he was among the first round funding fund financier.
I think that (for least a couple of months, possibly a year ...) there will certainly be no important modifications in our Instagram Application which in any case, it is ineffective to aim to intend additionally than that.
Extra the one million Androiders registered recently and also nothing really took place. So why should we be scared of Facebook this moment?
