Our goal is to allow people to use whatever app they want to get photos into 'Instagram'.
From Kevin Systrom
Do what you love, and do it well - that's much more meaningful than any metric.
I grew up as a photo nut. Every Christmas I would get a new camera. It's a huge part of my life.
I actually think some of my best moments in life have been while I was with people from Instagram - whether it's super late nights getting a release out or being able to travel to places I'd never visited and meeting some of the most interesting people I've ever met.
I believe photos is one of the underlying things in every social network that becomes successful.
When people say that college isn't worthwhile and paying all this money isn't worthwhile, I really disagree. I think those experiences and those classes that may not necessarily seem applicable in the moment end up coming back to you time and time again.
Great products sell themselves.
Imagine the power of surfacing what's happening in the world through images, and potentially other types of media in the future, to each and every person who holds a mobile phone.
The major reason why Instagram works is that you can follow anyone out there and start following their photos immediately.
Working at a startup to make a lot of money was never a thing, and that's why I decided to just finish up school. That was way more important for me.
