Facebook snaps up Instagram

Last week, when Instagram was valued at $500 million, people scoffed.

It's just a simple photo sharing app with only 30 million users and no real business model. How can that be worth $500 million?

Turns out that they were right. It's worth $1 billion instead.

    Companies are just crazy with what they are paying nowadays. Hotmail may have been worth half a billion, but a picture sharing site? Come on.
