Instagram's rise from their early beginnings as a company called Burbn simply trying something new to the image sharing giant of today is nothing short of impressive. In a mere 17 months, the company had a fantastic exit; it was acquired by Facebook for $1 billion, a company synonymous with the word 'startup'. And, throughout these 17 months, Instagram blew through various milestones very quickly. The first Instagram app which was launched in 2010 had 200,000 users in the first week. This number jumped to 1.75 million by February, then 4 million in May. Staggering growth, really, for what on the surface is such a simple app.

With so many image taking, editing and sharing apps available on each of the main platforms, printing them is turning out to be fairly lucrative business.
Now that Facebook has splashed $1 billion on Instagram, users of the photo sharing social network are left with something of a quandary. With Facebook itself already finding itself to be hated by much of the online community for perceived privacy violations, some are already fearing the worst for Instagram.
Instagram - one of the hottest image-based social networks at this point in time - has just been acquired by the world's foremost social platform, Facebook.
The premise of photo-sharing apps for mobile devices is the same: take a photo, apply an effect to it, share it online on the app’s own network or on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
After a seemingly eternal wait, Instagram has finally reached the Google Play Store, more details after the jump!
Instagram is one of the most popular social networking apps on the iPhone. It's certainly the most popular social networking app to revolve around photography, and that's across any platform that we can think of. The fact that there is no Android version of the app has long been a sore point for those of the Google persuasion, but as we know, Instagram is working to rectify that ASAP.
When Apple first launched the iPhone, it was a device which immediately raised the bar in the mobile device world. The industry had seen scores of smartphones released well before the iPhone ever made it to market, but the original Apple iPhone brought a perfect fusion of form and function to the marketplace and was launched at the right time when consumers were crying out for a little bit of individuality. That was obviously coming up to five years ago, and although the overall standard of device released by manufacturers have increased thanks to that launch, the iPhone is still considered to be setting the standard.
Instagram is one of those beautifully simple concept that has millions of amateur and professional photographers alike completely hooked. You take a photo, edit, and share. And that, as they say, is that.
While there is no news of Instagram for Windows Phone 7*, an independent developer has released an alternative app of sorts called InstaCam. Details after the jump!
