It's interesting that InstaGram was bought by Facebook, not because of it's photo-morphing capability but because of the ease of uploading and sharing photos from a cell phone. I wonder if the founders deliberately built that in or if it was discovered as secondary functionality. Either way, they're pretty rich now!
