So as you probably know by now, Facebook paid $1 billion for Instagram. A lot has been said about why Facebook did the deal.
Maybe Facebook is scared Instagram will be a major competitor OR it wants to prevent Google from getting their hands on it
But one thing is for sure, If Instagram wasn’t a “simple” app that does one thing well (sharing photos) and at the same time give a good visual experience……..
It won’t attract 30 million users. Without 30 million users, Facebook wouldn’t have taken a second look at it.
Lessons to learn are
- Be Simple
- Do ONE thing well and
- Have an amazing visual experience
I started the Vault to help you with number 3 because I know you can handle 1 and 2 but admit it, you suck at 3 
To help you with that, here is a sneak preview of the next template coming out on the Vault.
A sexy visual theme that gets its inspiration from Pinterest (the next property to be bought for $1 Bn, I predict).
Please leave a comment and Let me know what you think.
Very nice! I wonder if this kind of design can be integrated with Sensible Table View? That would be really far away from the traditional TableView display!
True it is far away from the traditional table view implementation. That is why I don’t think we will integrate it with STV out of the box. Good to know you like it
