One thing omitted from the Instagram genesis story is that they effectively stole the Hipstamatic "filters" feature and added a basic timeline a la Twitter. Sharing to Twitter fueled their growth from that point. And the rest is history!
- woah 8y agoSounds like they made a good product
- seem_2211 8y agoYes, because all that matters is an idea and execution doesn't matter one bit.
- tomjakubowski 8y agoAround the same time as these there was another app that made you drag a depiction of your photo around a mock darkroom to "develop" it with those "filters".
- MBCook 8y agoWasn’t that the app that had the genius idea to make your photos more “important“ by charging you an in app purchase for “film“ so you would only take pictures of things that mattered?
