Instagram is full of ads

Instagram

Over the next year, the popular photo-sharing service will begin broadcasting ads. This message came simultaneously with the achievement report: the number of Instagram users showing at least monthly activity was 150 million. This famous photo and video sharing service belongs to the social network Facebook. The service is so popular that for Nokia the question of the appearance of the corresponding application for Windows Phone plays a significant role.


Instagram executive Emily White reports that the service “will be ready to sell ads over the next year.” She shared her project plans with the Wall Street Journal business publication:

We want to earn in the long term, but not to the detriment of short-term plans.

Instagram will use the app's Discover feature, which displays “sponsored content.” Thus, advertising images will be embedded in the general photo stream.

Of the 150 million users of the service, 50 million have shown interest in Instagram over the past six months. More than 60% of users of a popular service are outside the United States.

It is known that Instagram does not wish to allow third-party applications to post photos on their pages.
