With their UX skills, Krieger and Systrom refined Instagram to require as few actions as possible. Unlike the original version of Path, Instagram didn’t force users to add tags about people or places to their photos.
Mirroring Twitter, they made Instagram public by default.
Launched at just the right time, Instagram had 25,000 users on its very first day!
New financing gave Systrom and Krieger the opportunity to hire more people, but the founders kept the company very lean with barely a dozen employees.
In April 2012, Facebook made an offer to purchase Instagram for about $ 1 billion in cash and stock, with the key provision that the company would remain independently managed.
The astounding rise of Instagram’s popularity proves that people believe in real connections rather than those based on only words.
