Instagram launched for Google Android and was downloaded more than 1 mn times in the first 24 hours. Before that, it was only available for the Apple iPhone, where it recently crossed the 30 mn-user threshold. Pinterest may have been getting a lot of attention lately because of the incredible speed with which it reached 10 mn users, but Instagram remains the hottest photo-sharing start-up on the market right now (not counting Facebook).
What does Instagram need to become truly killer? Better integration with Twitter. If Instagram can make that happen, I have no doubt it will triple in size almost overnight, drive more engagement (including long-tail) and have an incredible platform for monetization.
