Instagram Now Has 800 Million Monthly, 500 Million Daily Active Users (cnbc.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from CNBC: Instagram said Monday that it's added another 100 million monthly users. That brings the photo-sharing app to 800 million monthly active users, up from 700 million in April, according to Carolyn Everson, vice president of global marketing solutions at Facebook, who spoke at an Advertising Week event in New York City. Five hundred million of those are daily active users, the company said. That means that Instagram is still ahead of rival Snap in terms of users, based on Snap's last report. Snap said in August that it had 173 million daily active users. Time spent watching video on Instagram is up more than 80 percent year over year, the company also said on Monday, and four times as many videos are being produced every day on Instagram compared with a year ago.
it's on sale, now.
I am so out of touch.
I'm not one of them.
I prefer to stay anonymous, thank you very much.
I've always wondered: Can those statistics be independently verified? Or could they be a dishonest advertising gimmick?
of Facebook?
No, seriously.
I suppose if you care about what kinds of food people order, it might be interesting, but that's most of it.
And they don't upload pics of stuff they make at home very often, unless it's for a fancy meal.

This is so exciting! Which other multinational advertising companies can I give my photographs to?
Who cares anyways?
Find out it's all true and what does it prove?
A whole lot of people are dumb as bricks?
Everybody already knows that. Well almost everybody...

Seriously, my younger son is on Instagram all the time. In the three years he's had an account, he's posted maybe six photos. The rest of the time, he's following meme and joke posters.
I think everyone in the high school has seen teh same memes at least 50 times.

Instant pudding was really popular too in its day too, now I can't wait for all this to turn to Custard.
100 million boy millennials, 100 million girl millennials and 100 million millennials checking out Instagram to see what gender they should self-identify as today.
IG is the most craptacular app; a terrible interface, it butchers photos, is really pointless for social interaction (yet called 'social media') and is a great demonstration of how _not_ to build an app...they have all that money to actually do development, yet there it is looking like some teen assembled it. What a world..
Half of these new users are Photobucket refugees looking for a new free photo sharing site to host their photos. The others have gone to Flickr, which I expect has witnessed a similar surge.

i use instagram, it is annoying that ads have recently started to show up in my feed. this makes me not want to use it any more, im deactivating my account because the volume of ads that i see is ridiculous (every third post in my feed is an ad. matbe it would be palatable if i only saw one ad each time i went to scroll through my feed but the number of the ads is just perverse.
Still not on. Not on snapchat nor on instagram.

It's amazing how many people use the internet these days. Companies would struggle to survive without it. http://autographsale.net
And I bet more than 60% of those users are bots...
Accounts run on software that automatically posts and likes pictures. Selling accounts with a certain amount of followers or selling shoutouts has been a business for a long time already....those statistics above are super artificial
