This article is about the development of intergram and how the founders came from a simple desk in a small room, to a massive well decorated building. it talk about the sudden grow of instagram, and is the leading social networking site with 400 million users. This article talks about how there is more to instagram than selfies and exotic holidays. This article talks about the potential talent, creativeness and opportunities instagram is creating for its users. Instagram is a  $35bn technology company which is 50 percent more than Twitter emphasising on the success of instagram.

• 400 million users on insta
• worth $35bn
• worth 50% more than twitter
• secured a $250,000 investment

I think to some extent instagram is allowing people to be more creative because of the competitiveness to get followers. There are allot of people which had opportunities because of instagram (insta famous people), there are allot of modelling opportunities because of intagram however they are not that good is discovering really good photographers or academic talent. I think the best social networking site that creates the best opportunity is vine, because it created allot of opportunity for hosts.
