Facebook在IPO之前给自己加码吗？难道安卓版本的推出，也是为了Instagram被收购而准备的吗？毕竟Facebook的用户不仅仅只有iphone，可以预见，以后WP的版本应该也会推出。此外，对于用户来说，也是一种保障。当然Instagram被收购也是一件好事，但是我这里的疑问是，真的值10亿那么多吗？我们可以预见，以后Facebook应该

Social networking giant Facebook has acquired mobile photo sharing app Instragam for approximately $1 billion in cash and stock.
Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, said of the transaction:
For years, we’ve focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we’ll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests.
We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience. We plan on keeping features like the ability to post to other social networks, the ability to not share your Instagrams on Facebook if you want, and the ability to have followers and follow people separately from your friends on Facebook.
This is an important milestone for Facebook because it’s the first time we’ve ever acquired a product and company with so many users. We don’t plan on doing many more of these, if any at all. But providing the best photo sharing experience is one reason why so many people love Facebook and we knew it would be worth bringing these two companies together. We’re looking forward to working with the Instagram team and to all of the great new experiences we’re going to be able to build together.
Instragam CEO Kevin Systrom said of the transaction:
Every day that passes, we see more experiences being shared through Instagram in ways that we never thought possible. It’s because of our dedicated and talented team that we’ve gotten this far, and with the support and cross-pollination of ideas and talent at a place like Facebook, we hope to create an even more exciting future for Instagram and Facebook alike.
It’s important to be clear that Instagram is not going away. We’ll be working with Facebook to evolve Instagram and build the network. We’ll continue to add new features to the product and find new ways to create a better mobile photos experience.
The Instagram app will still be the same one you know and love. You’ll still have all the same people you follow and that follow you.You’ll still be able to share to other social networks. And you’ll still have all the other features that make the app so fun and unique.
