There already is a big movement around sharing experiences through photos on social networks. Facebook recently spent a billion dollars to acquire Instagram. A photo styling and sharing app with no revenue. Why?

Here is a possible reason:

“I think Facebook is getting a little nervous about Pinterest, for instance. There is a new generation of meaningful social networks that are all about personal identity curation. Like Pinterest, Instagram understands that the future is photo-driven, and that those photos are about style and moments. Facebook is playing catch-up. It can either become this fundamental layer, the glue that holds this world together, or they can start creating better environments for users across the board.”
