Instagram and Twitter Clash

One of the main reasons people use Instagram is because of the ability to post pictures from it straight to twitter, however, that has changed with the newest update to Instagram. In a recent business move the social media giant FaceBook has purchased Instagram. It is well known fact that Twitter and FaceBook are rivals in the social media world, so this buyout has created some friction between Twitter and Instagram.

What does this mean for Businesses?

Many Companies and organizations use Instagram to edit and share photos with their followers on Twitter, so with the change they will be having to find alterante photo editing programs to do what they are doing now. If enough companies and individuals start to do this Instagram could take a major hit in users.

How do you think this friction will affect business for these social media sites?

To learn more about the buyout you can read an article at The Economist.
