You should actually use it a little before you write about it. ” Especially since Instagram is not a community per se ” let me correct my above comment, I think you have no idea how much communities are being built around an individual photographer on Instagram.

In both cases we are offered multiple reasons for the deals, not all of which add up. In fact, both seem to demonstrate visceral panic reactions on the part of the deal makers. That said, there is much behind the scenes we don't know about. In the case of FaceBook, there could be a pre-existing initiative that Instagram could slot into, making it more valuable to the company. One could speculate (and all I am doing is speculation, of course) that MMI serves a similar purpose for Google's plans.

They bought volume in a photo sharing app, period. Did they pay too much? Consider the mindlessness that is Twitter. No real extendable revenue model and sky high valuation. An interesting platform but not a business. Facebook is a real business that can eclipse virtually all of its competition. Zuckerberg has been told he has $100 billion to play with. He always showed distain for money. So why wouldn't he spend it any way he wants? He built the value. I truly wish this was insightful but I can’t see any insights.
