But hipsters everywhere will cry blatantly because they need Instagram to take pics of their food, cat, dog, neighbours, whales, some goofy artist no one knows about, their granny and their di**s with premium filters, or they will cry about how they can't be a proper "photographer" with ads on the app! Think of the poor hipsters! D:

Instagram was originally created to work with IPhone and IPad since their media sharing is very limited. So yes you can say its a hip thing since it is somewhat related to Apple's device. I don't see any purpose having another app to share photo and there's plenty out there.I'm sure Instagram will die down soon since there is no major advantage of having. Like IPhone vs Android, what can Instagram do what Facebook can not do?

The Instagram purchase is likely one of the most overvalued purchases of all time. The picture tech isnt as good as many of the competitors (such as Pixlromatic, which has WAY WAY more filters and controls over the pictures) and the sharing feature accomplishes nothing that cant be done with services like Facebook, Google+, and Tumblr. It is one of the most overrated apps of all time. If Facebook was to ever make a profit from Instagram, it wont take months, it wont take years, it will take decades!

If they added ads to instagram i'd leave it... that would be retarted. Facebook wouldn't be losing money if they stopped hiring the people who keep making dumb changes that most likely cost them millions.

I was hating on instagram for a while, but I downloaded it a few days ago and it's sort of cute and fun. I'm certainly not making great art, but the filters add a little flavor to otherwise quick snapshots.

My vote is to allow purchasing of prints as stickers, bookmars, cards, postcards, et cetera. Something cost-effective enough for kids to get into it.
