Facebook buys Instagram for $1B
Facebook Inc., the world’s largest social-networking service, snapped up the hugely popular photo-sharing app Instagram on Apr. 9, for roughly $1 billion in a combination of cash and stock
Facebook has acquired photo sharing app Instagram
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, pictured in 2011. Zuckerberg called the acquisition of Instagram "an important milestone for Facebook because it's the first time we've ever acquired a product and company with so many users" but promised it was a rare acquisition.

Facebook announced on Monday that it will pay $1 billion in cash and stock for photo-sharing application Instagram, making its largest-ever acquisition months before the No. 1 social media website is expected to go public. The popular Instagram application, which allows users to add filters and effects to pictures taken on their smartphones, has gained about 30 million users since it first launched in January 2011
PALO ALTO, CA - APRIL 07: (FILE PHOTO) Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks during a media event at Facebok headquarters on April 7, 2011 in Palo Alto, California. The world’s largest social network, Facebook is looking to file the paperwork for IPO that will value the company from 75 to 100 billion USD as early as Wednesday, according to reports on January 27, 2012.

FILE - In this May, 26, 2010 file photo, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talks about the social network site's new privacy settings in Palo Alto, Calif. Zuckerberg turns up at business conventions in a hoodie. “Cocky” is the word used to describe him most often, after “billionaire.” He was Time's person of the year at 26. So when he takes Facebook public, why would he follow the Wall Street rules? The company is expected to file as early as Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012 to sell stock on the open market in what will be the most talked-about initial public offering since Google in 2004, maybe since the go-go 1990s. Around the nation, regular investors and IPO watchers are anticipating some kind of twist - perhaps a provision for the 800 million users of Facebook, a company that promotes itself as all about personal connections, to get in on the action.
