Facebook Bought Instagram
Yet exactly what does it actually suggest for individuals and also Instagramers like us?
After Mark Zuckerberg's official announcement last evening on his Facebook account, hundreds of remarks appeared. Not just in Twitter but In Instagram also. For everyday Instagramers like us, the Instagram Application has actually effectively turned into our main communication tool. An area where we can share more than just photos, yet our feelings, belief as well as our viewpoints too.
The other day, our @Igers pic mentioning the "Facebook bargain" made it to the Popular Page, no surprises there ...
As creator of Instagramers, the primary fan network of the Instagram Application around the world, needless to say that my phone was warm with activity last evening. Mentions, inquiries, uncertainties ... I am most likely among the first Iger getting complaints each and every single day, as it ought to be!
Many people are asking me today what will occur next so I chose to compose this message.
The curious aspect of this whole story as well as our Instagram users experience is that we seem to act differently depending upon the socials media we use.
-- Most of us are deeply entailed with the Instagram Application itself and even state to be addicted. There is a strong feeling of stickyness with Instagram's growing community. A real feeling of belonging to it with the community. That's why we also caught on to exactly what amounts to a special anxiety of Android' s attack into the Instagram globe, we are afraid that it might ruin our ideal little world
-- Most of us have really no idea of who owns our pics legal rights and which 3rd party can use it (same as in Facebook )
-- Everyone have Facebook account.
-- A substantial part of our Instagram Pics are day-to-day and naturally shared to our own Facebook walls and accounts.
-- According to a recent study, approximately 12.5% of the pictures published to Twitter could be from Instagram.
-- Our own Instagramers Network of greater than 270 regional groups around the world is organized around Facebook Profiles as well as we have an exclusive team of over 200 "ManIgers" arranging events, instawalks, exhibitions, sharing suggestions, offering ideas ...
So why are we so terrified of Facebook?
As Net users we won our independence and also freedom in our selections. We do not want to rely on organizations or companies anymore. Instagram up until today resembled a tiny "family" made up by a few young people that created an incredible application and also altered our lives ... They made use of to address personally with the helpdesk center, @Josh developed on Sunday to release "The week on Instagram" on their blog and there was a real harmony between individuals and proprietors of the application therefore normally, we are left wondering what will certainly take place currently.
In a photo I published the other day in @Igers Profile on Instagram (see here in the right side) I got more than 220 unfavorable comments concerning the acquisition. There is no question that some individuals are truly disturbed might assume their civil liberties will not be valued and that it will probably scent organisation and also advertising and marketing all over.
But we have to be mindful that our preferred app could just survive if there is a sensible business model behind.
I would conclude that Facebook already has a billion individuals and that they are certainly not seeking for 30 million Instagram customers to improve their participant rankings. Not at all. A lot of us are currently Facebookers as well as Mark currently has all our individual details. Moreover, Zuckerberg has actually not demonstrated any kind of thinking about combining both Brands as well as Providers (a minimum of for the moment). He knows we do not behave the same way in each social media platform we belong to and that we act in a different way relying on our inspirations. Combining both systems under the Facebook umbrella would certainly provoke a substantial migration to various other photo-sharing applications like Eye' em or Picplz.
I really do believe this deal is extra a question of method and maintaining Google and other competitors at bay (Google had actually just recently revealed passion for IG). I personally assumed that Instagramwould fit better with Twitter. It made even more sense to me but it's seems that Jack Dorsey is really satisfied with his Instagram Shares value today as he was just one of the first round resources fund financier.
I believe that (for least a couple of months, possibly a year ...) there will be no essential changes in our Instagram Application which in any case, it is pointless to try to prepare further than that.
More the one million Androiders registered recently and also nothing actually occurred. So why should we be frightened of Facebook this moment?
