Who does not love Instagram – the start-up that took the social network world by storm. In just 2 years its value reached $1 billion (at least that’s what Facebook think its value is when it acquired Instagram last Monday, April 9). Below are some of its milestones:
- It had 200,000 users within the first week of the launch, the count reached 4 million users.
- The iPhone app has been downloaded 30 million times.
- Released the Android version of the app and after 6 days it hit the 5 million download mark.

“John Carter” star Taylor Kitsch, in an interview in the “Late Show with David Letterman”, narrated his ordeal with an airport immigration officer.
