> A glass of water can be worth more than the New York Times if Zuckerberg is lost in the desert and you happen to have water.
What if you don't bother to drink the water? What do you call that?
Call me naive (I am), but there has to be more to this than the respective to ones needs narrative. Here's a few points that I've soaked in:
- Instagram will continue to be a separate entity
- Instagram "brand" is worth $
- Instagram revenue is worth ?
OK. So, let's say FB acquired Instagram for their "brand". How will FB benefit from Instagram's brand if they are a completely separate entity? If they are after revenue/audience, where's the money? There is more to this than just being best buds with one of the photo sharing platforms of choice.
If Zuck owns Instagram he doesn't have to worry that it will hurt Facebook in some large way. Instead he can hope owning Instagram will help Facebook in some large way. That's worth a billion to him.
