Instagram more than 300 million active users over Twitter

According to foreign media reports, photo-sharing website Instagram announced in Wednesday, since March this year, the site has added 100 million users, so that its monthly active users reached 300 million. That's more than Twitter, which says its average monthly active user is 284 million in the third quarter of this year. In 2012, Facebook paid $1 billion to buy Instagram, and it now appears that Instagram has inherited the growth gene from its parent company, Facebook. Kevin Systrom, co-founder and CEO of Instagram, Kevin Strom that most of Instagram's user growth comes from overseas. Instagram has translated its applications into more languages, and has enabled users to connect with local public figures. Instagram said there were 2.1亿来 from overseas, compared with only 120 million in March this year. "Two years ago, we had few international users, and now we are becoming very international," Strome said in an interview. Although the Instagram user base is growing, the number of employees is only 7 to 10, but they are also getting help from Facebook. Strome said: "If as an independent company, Instagram user size to reach the current level may take longer." No matter how Instagram gets Facebook Help, its users are breaking a 300 million milestone, making it an increasingly valuable asset for the parent company. The venture capitalists have valued other social networks at about 40 dollars per user, according to which Instagram is now valued at about $12 billion trillion. Perhaps more importantly, Instagram allows teenage users to stay on Facebook's ecosystem. As Facebook matures, young users choose to spend more time on other newer mobile apps: Instagram has always been a popular choice for young people. "Instagram will continue to attract generations of people to stay on Facebook," Strome said. "One of the best deals in the world is that everyone starts thinking you're buying something expensive," he said. You can only accelerate the development of it and prove to people that you can make it more valuable. But Strome also said advertising revenue would make Instagram more valuable to Facebook than just appealing to teenage users. "We have to be a profit center," he said.
