Why should I buy Facebook Instagram?.


News on Facebook Instagram buy this is beyond anyone's expectations, many people (me) and have a different reaction. But whether for or against it. Well, this would move forward, not backward.
The acquisition is considered very important. I consider it, then it is a "social network, the largest in the world," acquired "social network on mobile phones in the world" (say it is number one a number one in the industry are similar), and reflect. ongoing strategic planning that exciting.
This is what I wrote in my view, a bit of it.






Why does Facebook need Instagram.


The most important question in the "How to make Facebook Instagram".
I think the answer is threatening Instagram Facebook quietly buying this is a power cut, but the wind. That the competitors in the future from a young age.
Instagram is not a single species that collide directly with Facebook (like Google +), but it has some overlap with Facebook is not the least.
Photo sharing. (This is the main selling point of Facebook in the first place).
There are stories in themselves. Subscribe in a network. Comments are the same.
Facebook is a social network that's on your desktop. And beat the other competitors (such as Myspace) has been integrated. But the era of mobile and smart phones Facebook it started to catch (see it on a Facebook app), and a space for social network Instagram has happened.
Every time a computer is also used Facebook to maintain the comfort of their own. We are going to use my pictures back home to upload images to Facebook and then tag your friends. Comments on Facebook is fun to experience this very well. Innovation and the sharing of the photos in those days.
But in an era where everyone has a smartphone. I then shared it with my phone. Comments from an Instagram to each other (although shared by Facebook) is that Facebook was being ripped out of the cycle of people perished.
Facebook did not know this. But with the limited thinking of the organization that grew up with a desktop computer. The adaptation is slow (a lot) and they also have a Facebook app is very limited compared to Instagram (actually, a social network similar to Flickr it would be slow as well. The same reason) if it is this property of up to Instagram. It is big enough to have the power to negotiate with Facebook for sure.
The solution is straightforward. I have not bought it. The sales price was up to me. The financial status of Facebook, now total $ 1 billion. (With all non-cash), it's not a stretch. Exchange for maintaining the state of their own stories to the world.


Instagram from now on.


Mark Zuckerberg made it very clear that it will not touch Instagram and brands are the remains of a group of friends, both old Instagram. And the ability to share to other social networks.
This Zuckerberg is smart because it prevents the escape of Instagram to service a lot. (Although some of that out), because in terms of use Instagram is the same in all respects. Nothing has changed from the original user that should be expected. Wake up tomorrow morning, but it does not change Instagram.
Instagram still features the original was no damage to the Facebook user Instagram because almost everyone seems to already have a Facebook and a network connection exists between the two. To force users to use Facebook Instagram not increase the number of users on Facebook have important implications. It also allows people to resist in vain.
Initially it. The teams have split the development of a parallel to one another. This is considered a tradition of Facebook that would normally sell the company to take over the customer base. (See also the case of Friendfeed or Gowalla).
I think in the near future a few years Instagram to move forward with the original plan of its own. The service is free to use it.


Facebook + Instagram.


What to watch is that Facebook will be combined with the strength of their own services Instagram do.
I tell you frankly that I have not thought out. Simple as it is. Ability to capture images and add filters to gradually Instagram gradually added to the Facebook mobile app, but in the long run. I think that's the expertise to make Instagram mobile applications. To help develop other parts of the Facebook app features beyond imaging.
We need to watch each other for a while that Facebook will be able to take advantage of Instagram not much, but certainly this team Instagram as a case study of building applications that are successful and positive people. and the wealth of developers around the world.
And another five years if we come back to watch this event. It is concluded that Mark Zuckerberg is the spirit killer diamond quite sharp.
