Facebook buys Instagram photo sharing network for $1bn

Instagram is great, as its kinda like twitter but with photos and is also very addictive. This is huge for Instagram, who only employ a handful of people. If you have a smart phone and dont have Instagram, go download that now. Follow me on instagram - therealdjmk

Facebook has announced it is to buy Instagram - the popular photo-sharing smartphone app.

Facebook is paying $1bn (£629m) in cash and stock for the takeover.

Instagram was only launched in October 2010 - initially just for the iPhone before being offered as an Android app last week.

Facebook's chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has pledged to continue to develop Instagram as a separate brand, allowing it to post to rival networks.

The app is free and allows users to apply 17 filters to the pictures they take - changing the colour balance to give the images a different feel - before they are uploaded.

It has proven hugely popular. The firm says that it has more than 30 million users uploading more than 5 million new pictures every day.

The company has "roughly" 10 employees, according to the Associated Press.

'Important milestone'

"We think the fact that Instagram is connected to other services beyond Facebook is an important part of the experience," Mr Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page.

Roots Manuva - DJ MK @ The HMV Institute, Birmingham, UK – 30 January 2012 Review

Before he stepped out on stage, DJ MK was warming up the crowd with a set that had something to please everyone, from current underground US Hip Hop, through classic Tribe Called Quest tunes and into Dutty Crunk stuff. Then into Foster Sylver’s ‘Misdemeanor,’ into Men at Work ‘Dance if you want to’. Even Kraftwerk’s ‘Tour de France’ got an airing before he finally juggled two copies of New Orders ‘Blue Monday’…..Genius! This is a DJ that not only has the skills, but also a deeper musical understanding of how to rock a party.

ROOTS MANUVA - DJ MK - UK TOUR SO FAR

For the last week i ve been on the Roots Manuva UK Tour killing the shows in Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Norwich, Birmingham, and tonight its Bristol, then The RoundHouse on Saturday for the final date. All the shows have been going sick! Venues are packed and Rodney has 15 years worth of hits to go through. What is  really interesting about the shows is the ages of the people in the audience. Last night in Norwich for instance there must have been at least 80 kids who all under 15...then there were mainly 18-24 year olds, people in there 30's and i saw one guy getting down who looked about 60! Im on stage doing a DJ set before hand getting things hype before the show so in total im on stage every night for about three hours. Fun times!
