So wait, you're saying a business is supposed to make money by selling something? You just blew my mind. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that what you are professing here applies to other businesses that have nothing to do with enterprise software. Or any software for that matter. In fact, I am going to go so far as to suggest that there are only three businesses set up to not make money- social media-related startups, government programs, and charities. If you are not starting a social network/gaming/photo-sharing/location-like thing, this Instagram acquisition story should pass you by like a ship in the night.
