I want Facebook to push Instagram to come up with a web version of the product. And I want to be able to do the Instagram effect thing to my Facebook photos. Not all of them, but those I choose.

Instagram: A Billion In Two Years

Facebook buying Instagram is Facebook admitting it is essentially a photo sharing site.

What is most remarkable about the Instagram story is that it has essentially been an iPhone app. That's it. I guess it is possible for one iPhone app to end up worth a billion dollars.

This transaction is a tribute to Steve Jobs.

Pinterest Competes With Twitter, Instagram With FourSquare

Another important thing Facebook could do is give each photo its own unique URL that is not a mile long. And the ability for anyone to embed that photo, if the photo is publicly shared.
