Strategically I am missing why Instagram is even viewed as a threat to Facebook. It seems like a complementary service. If Instagram tried to go the route of forcing you to be a member and only share photos with other Instagram users, nobody would use it. Facebook and Twitter provide the platform for Instagram to exist.

If something like Google+ hit it off with everybody and they could move all of their pictures with the press of a button and keep their Instagram UI, that lowers the barriers of entry for people to come along and steal FB's cake.
