Follow @Breaking_NewsNG


It's amazing to know that popular image portal Instagram was created barely four years ago but it has grown so fast that it now has over 300 million users, more than Twitter's 284 million.

However, the success can be hugely attributed to the fact that it was bought by Facebook in 2012.

Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom revealed today that more 70 million photos and videos are shared by its members every day.

"We’re proud to announce that there are now more than 300 million Instagrammers. Over the past four years, what began as two friends with a dream has grown into a global community that shares more than 70 million photos and videos each day," he said.

"Instagram is home to creativity in all of its forms, a place where you can find everything from images of the Nile River to the newest look from Herschel Supply or a peek inside the mind of Taylor Swift." he added.
