half $1 billion in revenue for instagram. -- $500 million in revenue for instagram.oing to be a big part of facebook's growth will stop >> talk to me -- facebook's growth. >> talk to me about the engagement with the korg demographic -- the core demographic. >> it is a two-way dialogue. social media is in interaction. when you look at the percentage of the users engaged with a piece of content as registered by a like or share comment, on facebook it is 0.5%, but on instagram, it is 1.25%. it is 25 times the engagement. if you were to take the size of the community times the amount , then that ratio is bigger on instagram that on facebook. you could argue that instagram is the most powerful platform in the world. >> scott, thank you for joining me for our digital iq. good to see you. a --g up, a grand a paired parody. ♪ x l.a. just got a new kind of coffee buzz, dumb starbucks. it is identical to your neighborhood starbucks for my down to his logo. the story says that is legal law.a parody jon erlichman is outside the store in los angeles. set the scene for us. busines

they bought instagram, problem solved. that was not the case at all. same for snapchat, which has passed the volume of facebook. the question is, is the opportunity so big that it doesn't matter that they don't have all of it? 70%t ok for facebook to be of your smartphone socializing activity, spread across a bunch of federated applications, whether it is facebook home or messenger or whatsapp, or the next big thing they buy. the downside might be, they bought instagram and that was a great deal in a financial sense that it did not do anything around the positioning and photographs. spentey bought whatsapp, $19 billion, which brought them 450 million active users. what happens next? is cannot presume this game over. the elemental thing that is happening in mobile, there are two basic issues. is the internet with the web, and that was settled in 1994, 1995. when you go to mobile, suddenly you have a massively more complex environment of how people engage. this year, laster is messaging. i cannot give you a reasonable forecast on what i will be doing in

instagram account and look at them there?t is like looking at the filing cabinet of all of their own photos. >> i think people do that and there are people that do connect on instagram to find love. on the other hand, if that is not the context of what it is therefore. we wanted to create a place where people could go under those circumstances. >> did you have to get the permission of instagram to make this connection? >> no, that is what is awesome. as long as we follow the rules. and beuse their data able to experiment and do interesting things. >> why did you select the number nine? why just nine? >> that is a great question. we experimented with a number of photos. we were at different bars and restaurants going through different ideas. i felt like the right number was nine. if those numbers don't jibe with you, they don't throw you off. >> for example, if someone were to say, meaning that they type mountain "i love climbing" but you don't see any photographs, glimpse would resolve that dichotomy. >> in this new age of so

was instagram worth $1 billion?uckerbergn for mark is around maintaining share engagement and share of social activity. whatsapp has 450 million active users come a 75% of them active every day. that is a significant advantage of they spoke users. -- of facebook users. they are taking a big chunk of people who should have been using facebook and they are using facebook first. do you just sit and compete with that? they have been looking at facebook message for the last year or so and that has not stopped the clock. you might say this is a great mobile conversation and that should be part of facebook. >> looking at the landscape of mobile messaging apps, you are in taiwan and you have seen the rise of wichat and others. do you think this is worth it? >> i tend to think it is. i think the price per user is very reasonable. the growth is fantastic. viber big difference with which had plateaued. it's not a great comparison. the three that matter are whatsapp wichat and line. from that respective it's reasonable. iat the

if it really works, people are not going to mind the instagram ads.it's a brand they're following and want to see more. >> it's worth pointing out the data that we have that seems to suggest that instagram is a big hit with the affluent young female user in particular, and that was explained to me by one of the team today, i'm not an instagram user, partly because she could absolutely select who she is dealing with, who she is trading her photographs with, and in essence, she felt safe. i think that's a very profound thing to say about a platform on the internet, isn't it? >> well, it's interesting because the ads that they are going to see at least in the beginning right now are from brands that they choose to follow. if you look on facebook right now in the stream, it has to do with targeting and the types of stuff you're interested in but not necessarily things you're following. the power of actually choosing to follow a brand and sort of appreciating like julia said the content that comes in your stream, that's like a gold mine for marketers. >> w
