I got this info from a website when Instagram was five years old in 2015.
It’s amazing how this start-up which started small has taken over the globe
just in less than six years. Its small history shows how a little thing you
start can lead up to something huge one day. Keep believing in your dreams even
if no one does because your dreams are your ticket to live a life
of purpose.
Here is Instgram's awesome moments in numbers:
·
On day 1, they had 25,000 sign-ups. Today, they
have overtaken Twitter to have over 400 million users. Even by
tech standards, this is huge.
·
Instagram had only 6 engineers
in 2011 up until it was purchased by Facebook in 2012.
Consider the fact that they had about 10 million users at the
time.
·
Facebook paid $1
billion for Instagram, and its 13 employees. Though the deal was
around $300 million in cash and the rest in Facebook stock. To put it simply,
thats $77 million paid for the company per employee.
·
There are about 40 billion photos
which have been shared on Instagram; which works out as roughly 100 photos per
active account.
·
Instagram gets 3.5 billion likes
every single day.
·
The most liked image is Kendall Jenner’s
heart-shaped hair selfie, which got 3.1 million likes in less
than five months.
·
On average, more than 80 million photos
are uploaded to Instagram on a daily basis.
·
Taylor Swift has the largest
follower-count with 49 million followers. That means over 10%
of people on Instagram follow Swift.
Instagram is just another one of the successful stories of start-ups that
are out there. We will be bringing you so much more.
