I know this is news from a few weeks back, but does anyone have any opinions or debates on this? I honestly think it's going to make facebook more unpopular. they should have stayed in their own internet bubble. I liked Instagram, and use it to get away from FB. The recent update late last week was terrible, I don't even know how many followers I have! all it says is "16k" which means 16,000. don't know the exact amount. And it's harder to use and it's like changing a tradition. Anyoen else have opinions?

I think Facebook knows that it's getting old(at least I'm tired of it anyway) and it's trying to (symbolically speaking) recapture it's youth...

I don't really care. I don't use Instagram in the first place, so I don't really care.

As a photographer, I think Instagram is a joke -.-

They aren't "taking eachother over". There is just an option to share your posts there, as there is with tumblr, twitter and some other apps like foursquare and the "check-in" app. If you don't like that, just disable the sharing option...

They probably won't change anything. They just wanted the extra stock and money that Instagram makes. All it is, is a good financial move.
