    Please enlighten us Mike. Because I hadn't heard of Instagram before Facebook paid an insane amount of money for it. As far as I can tell, it takes your pictures and makes them look crappy. Apparently that's worth a $billion now days.

        It let's you take photographs and then apply some kind of image filter to it and then it is posted to the internet where people can also view it. :)

        It's the internet sharing part of it that interests Facebook and separates it from Photoshop. Not sure how many people even bother with the goofy filters. I agree that a billion dollars was ridiculous.

          I agree the billion dollars was silly... The picture taking and filter bit is not unique. It's the mobile picture sharing and 30 million users that likely interested Facebook. Think Twitter for pictures...

            I'll admit I'm ignorant on this, but isn't there all ready a crap load of websites where you can share your boring ass photos with the disinterested masses? Including Facebook for that matter. I thought flickr was the Twitter for pictures :confused: I'm not saying their isn't something unique and cool about Instragram (although we both agree a billion was just insane), maybe it really is worth a few hundred million at least, I just don't know what it is.

                It ain't a web site. It's mobile only. It can post pics to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or more commonly to the account holders own photo stream. Which in turn can be shared publicly or privately. I've only used it for the last month or so, but its proven to be a great way to share pics with my wife and adult children when we travel or see interesting things. P.S. Our streams are all private. I don't share my boring ass photos with the masses.

                  So it's just an app then? And one that it sounds like somebody could knock together over a rainy weekend?

                    ...and scale to over 30 million users. Good luck with that!
