I still don't get the popularity of Starcraft. Is is the blowing things up or the playing against friends? There are a ton of games that let me blow things up while taunting my friends. As someone who doesn't play Starcraft am I missing anything? ... Or, with less snark: Instagram is fun. Using it makes me smile. Do I need a better reason?

I think he gets that Instagram is fun and easy. He was saying there are other, similar, fun and easy services. What makes Instagram special? Why didn't the other services make you smile? "Starcraft::everything" isn't what he was asking about. He wanted to know about "Starcraft::All RTS Games".

  > fun and easy He said it was quick, not that it was fun or easy. That's probably what he was missing in the top post. What is it specifically that makes it fun and easy?

You don't. I wasn't challenging why you use it, I was trying to understand why it was a big deal on Android since I've seen really good filter share apps. It seems the differentiator is its own social network. It does make wonder if apps built on FB or Twitter should usually also expose their own network so you can't be as easily commodified.
