The amount of people that don't know that this is fake in the comments astound me.
I wish i had a laugh like that

If someone offered me that much for that small of a company, I'd laugh so hard after finishing it.
Really funny how much facebook paid for it..

Well Instagram is pretty fucking huge at the moment, so considering how many people use it, I find the price to be acceptable.

Not really, its a decent product (to those that use it) with a fucking massive user base.

does it have any real value though is the question

Define real value

Are people using it? Fuckloads.
Is it making money from it? Damn right it is.
Was it a simple 3 day app that anyone could make? Yep.
Would you be laughing your head off if someone gave you 1 billion dollars for something that took 3 days to make? Fucking hell you'd be rolling.

Point still stands.

For facebook it does

Another mans trash is another mans treasure.
Millions of people use that app + ad revenue = $$$
[QUOTE=Egevened;45407745]does it have any real value though is the question[/QUOTE]
im guessing that if everything was defined using your strict logic almost nothing would exist because there wouldn't be any value to making it
Also, it's getting rid of competition, and can increase users for each site, facebook can integrate with instagram and vice versa. It's a smart move, but I still think a billion is a shit ton, instagram was probably taking the piss at them asking for such amount, but then facebook agreed.
I really don't see how Facebook can make a profit on this purchase. Didn't Myspace sell for a ridiculous amount before it bombed? If anything Instagram is at a peak and buying it now only means losing money in the future, but fuck I'm not a business person
I don't understand though, Instagram doesn't have ads on it. So how does it make money?

Information. Facebook gathers so much information about its users that it can use to better target ads with. The more efficient your ads are the more people are willing to buy ad spots or keep current ones.
The news anchor at the end was like :suicide:
Listening to that woman at the beginning must be what English sounds like to people who don't speak it.

I think that's up for debate. I've known about Instagram since its' inception but it seems like everyone I know is just now catching on. At the very least, I'm sure Facebook would potentially break even.

English sounds a lot more smoother and pleasant than that to non speakers
