It's worth 1B...to facebook. It's a social media sharing system, and I don't know if you noticed or not, but facebook is kind of, well, you know, into that kind of thing. I think they paid about 100x too much, but facebook does not intend to "monetize it" by charging for the app. And your image filtering "instagram clone" isn't gonna do shit...there was a half dozen (better!) ones before the android launch last week, but once you get a brand anchored in the minds of a VERY brand-oriented user base, I don't need to tell you there's a lot you can do with that.
