Rise, raise and fall instagram

Instagram, did you ever heard of it, we did hear about telegram, but what is this instagram. Well, to be precise and short it is the new app developed for iphone and android phones from which one can quickly share photos to different social networking sites and to all his / her friends and relatives, it also gives you the option to comment on the photos.

Hence it is something like point, clicks, shoot and share kind of application. On top of this this application also gives you the feature to edit your photo before you share it with your friends and relatives or family.


Instagram was launched in December 2010 and since after its launch it never turned back to see where it came from as this application got popular day after day and as of sources reports that by September 2012 it already has 10 million registered users sharing photos using the application. With this big success it also faced lot of turmoil and got good acquisition offers from giants like Facebook and Twitter.


Like it is said whatever goes up has to come down, and that is what happened on 17th December 2012, when the terms of service in the website of instagram was changed stating that from Jan 2013 instagram would be able to sell the photos in its database without any permission or interference from the owner, this has led to a lot of controversy and criticism for this app recently from the advocates, lawyers as well as from those who are using this service and application to those who were thinking of using this application.


Till date instagram is rise, rising and raised to top with so much overwhelming response from users, but this silly little language can cause huge and big problems to its success.
