Instagram, a mobile photo application, was launched in October 2010 by Mike Krieger and Kevin Systrom as a unique platform to share your world and your experiences with a few clicks. It allows Instagram followers and users to take a picture, apply a digital filter and share it on a variety of social platforms including on Instagram. With just 27 million users in March 2012, the burgeoning Instagram follower population worldwide has crossed more than 50 million after being acquired by Facebook.
