I'm surprised it took Instagram this long to copy Snapshot. This guy seems super impressive but adding a competitor's features to your product to increase market share seems like a pretty obvious move.

- saimiam 9y agoThis is such a good point. Personally, I'd rather not copy to win but in business, it's easily possible to copy poorly and fail hard. There's a saying in Hindi - you need brains to copy well.
