Instagram
Instagram was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Kriegar on 10/6/10. The idea of instagram was to share photos online for friends and family to see. I think one of the reasons that instagram got to where it is now is because it was very simple to use and it truely focused on one thing. Sharing pictures, short captions. After 4/9/12 when facebook bought Instagram, more features launched. Boomerang, new filters, videos, and multiphoto for example. -
