True. I watched an interview of one of the founders and he revealed that Instagram is just a offshoot feature of their original product. So the cost of mistakes are not taken into account.
It's like someone proving out that E=MC^2 AFTER Einstein already figured out the problem.
It's still a cool exercise to do! I wish he would do that for more sites and apps! I bet the Draw Something app isn't that expensive to reproduce.

Agree with both of you guys. And of course I am making a lot of assumptions, but wanted to help devs realize the value of different components of a business. Because if that wasn't the case, Facebook could have just build an app just like Instagram.
Very interesting article, and besides all the good and proper reasons for this, I also believe it was a way for facebook to "show off" how much they have and can spend. And yes good teams are worth a whole lot.
Yes, there is a lot of marketing involved in this acquisition, besides the importance of Instagram in the industry.
Awesome article. I think Facebook did the correct move, otherwise, other big tech company would have acquired Instagram instead.
Drop.io: $10M
Snaptu: $70M
Instagram: $1000M
Having everybody talk about your latest acquisition: Priceless!
There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's Facebook.
It is a great app, but I think Facebook overpaid

Interesting, sometimes we underestimate the value of assets that cannot be easily estimate
It's a nice app based on a simple idea. It's worth it.
BRB, making Instagram
I guess developing is being too easy...
Really interesting! Looks like FB overpaid! Ha
I guess teams are worth a lot more than I thought
Finally someone takes a different stab at the Instagram news!
I thinks is worth it. A great app. And a good strategy of FB to absorb a potencial competitor
The founders described it as "replacing all the components of a car while driving it at 100mph", and even having worked on projects orders of magnitude smaller (albeit with a considerably more complex datamodel) I can't say I disagree.
