Who’s guesting?
Maria Ressa (@maria_ressa) talks to IMMAP President Hans Roxas-Chua (@hansrc) about Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram. The biggest social network on earth, Facebook bought mobile photo-sharing app/startup Instagram for a jaw-dropping $1 billion dollars. On its very first day on the Android platform the app was downloaded 1 million times. On the other hand, it has no public business model– the lone app is free and carries no advertisements.
Questions we’ll answer:
-
Why did Facebook buy Instagram?
-
Was it too much or too little?
-
Is there another dot.combubble forming?
-
What’s the lesson here for startups?
