Andrew Lieou on 01 Oct 12In the previous six months, Instagram use has septupled easily surpassing twitter. The app use went from nine hundred thousand people per day to well over seven million. Instagram is based around a mobile app and has no website. Before the evidence of Instagram's epic 6 month growth, Silicon valley were obsessing over mobile-first development. Twitter, who started mobile and then became a website is being shadowed by Instagram. Many other mobile apps have expanded and surged like Instagram but they all died out. Instagram has not died out yet however, because people seem to really enjoy looking at pictures and sending up their own. Instagram users spend an average of four hours on it beating Twitter's average of three. Many people think Instagram is a bad thing and is for "attention seekers" but I think it's a good thing. People can express their emotions and feeling through pictures and it's not Facebook so that's a win-win situation. However I don't use it.
