I think people are upset because facebook will now have their pictures forEVER lol but who knows </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116862 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:03:18 +0000 Rock n Roll 116862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the issue is that in the past, Facebook retained rights to pictures posted on the site and they have a lack of commitment to privacy. But I don't use Instagram so I don't really care. I also think that they overpaid by a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116852 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:59:01 +0000 PBandBaseball 116852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @mamamoose that I was shocked at the valuation of Instagram. I'm sure that FB is going to move to monetize it somehow. Maybe adding pay-per-use special filters? I'll continue to use it until they make me pay for it or start auto-posting to FB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116797 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:35:19 +0000 Alivoo01 116797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the app, but never used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116768 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:19:32 +0000 MamaMoose 116768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a lot of people are just mad at facebook right now. Mostly because they don't like being forced to use timeline. So people are just using this as one more thing to get riled up about. I personally don't see how it's a big deal. I also don't see how Instagram is worth $1Billion!? I mean it's cool... but not that cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116767 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:19:16 +0000 Crisark 116767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just downloaded the app today lol I couldn't careless who owns it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116756 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:12:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 116756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know that. I use it but not all the time. I won't stop using it unless they drastically change something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116751 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:05:40 +0000 Andrea 116751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: yes, i would assume you would still have control over your privacy. people are weird .... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116749 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:04:54 +0000 mediagirl 116749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea why people are up in arms about it! Instagram has an option to allow you to post to various social media sites. you don't have to post to any of them. I don't know how FB would change that. Zuckerberg, in a statement, said that they wouldn't change it too much. I would think if they made it mandatory to post to Facebook, everyone would delete it. I know I would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116744 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 12:01:40 +0000 Andrea 116744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is the problem? Does this mean your pictures will also appear on FB? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116740 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:59:42 +0000 BSB 116740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard about the purchase. I have the app on my phone but I don't really use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116723 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:50:10 +0000 heffalump 116723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't understand what the problem is. I don't have instagram on my phone, but I love looking at other people's pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/facebook-buying-instagram#post-116720 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:47:11 +0000 mediagirl 116720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, apparently there is outrage over the fact that Instagram is being purchased by Facebook. People have been sounding off saying that they're not going to use it anymore and they're angry about this acquisition. </p> <p>Will you stop using Instagram because Facebook purchased it? </p>
