Today the internet is littered with R.I.P. Instagram posting. This is not a post of that nature. We hate Instagram too much to wish it any sort of peace. And it probably isn’t going anywhere anyway.
We probably would not have wished Mark Zuckerberg on it either, but at least he comes with a cool fucking billion dollars.
According to Zuckerberg in his Facebook press release, Facebook and Instagram will continue to operate independently. I have a feeling a “for now” should end that sentence, but it doesn’t (for now).
Sean O’neal over at the A.V. Club takes a similarly cynical tone in his Newswire post. Don’t take it personally, Zuckerberg. O’neal can tear down anything with his sarcasm.
In other news revealed in the press release, Zuckerberg says he doesn’t really plan on acquiring any other companies that already have so many users. That means one thing to these ears, there’s still hope that h4t3r can become part of the Facebook family.
A billion dollars… A billion dollars…. A billion dollars……
