Trust is gone and it will be the end of the big Facebook (website). I think Facebook (company) is lucky with Instagram because that's where the people are going right now.

  A startling portion of Instagram users are unaware that Instagram is owned by Facebook, giving Facebook a clean slate. Therefore even when they start to seriously zuck it up it will take many people longer to notice the trend. I think the future of Instagram is rosy for at least a few years.
