Instagram proudly announces it's got 700 million users
You may think that
copying interesting or successful (or both) ideas from your competitors won't
pan out in the end, but Instagram is a living example to the contrary. The
Facebook-owned photo-focused social network has aped every Snapchat feature it
was able to in the past year or so, and it's paid off. Bigtime.
Instagram now has
700 million users, 100 million more than it did last December. So those last
100 million users were added in just four months. That number is amazingly
almost equivalent to Snapchat's entire 161 million user base. The recent growth
is the fastest in Instagram's history. Going from 500 million to 600 million
took five months in 2016.
Of course Instagram
is nowhere near Facebook's numbers, but its niche focus explains that. The big
blue social network boasts more than 1.8 billion users. Facebook-owned WhatsApp
and Messenger both hit 1.2 billion recently, and it really looks like Facebook
the company has officially won at the social thing - in part simply because it
has so many different offerings in this space.
