People want to share their photos publicly with lots of people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We don't want to own people's photos. We want to help them communicate with friends in whatever way makes them happiest.
Photos were seen as the most private type of content, and 'Instagram' really flipped that on its head and said photos can be really public.
About 80 percent of the photos on Flickr are public and searchable by everyone. In one sense, it's a place where people upload snapshots from the family reunion, wedding or the birth of a baby or something like that, but it's also a place where people go to show what the world looks like to them.
People love photos. Photos originally weren't that big a part of the idea for Facebook, but we just found that people really like them, so we built out this functionality.
Because of who I am, people ask for photos. I can't just say no to everyone.
I think that people post to social media to help shape their public identity.
Really, we're just taking people and shifting them from taking photos anyway to taking them on 'Instagram'.
If you think about photo sharing sites, the mobile photo sharing and social, there's no competitive advantage, there's no obvious business model, so I never play with anything like that. I avoid it like the plague.
People want to share photos with only their friends and loved ones.
The public doesn't want to hear people complaining about having their picture taken.
