Confidential - DO NOT SHARE

Hey everyone,

I’m excited to share the news that last night we reached an agreement to acquire Instagram.

Below is a post about the deal that I’m about to put on my timeline. Instagram has built a successful network and mainstream brand by focusing on building the best mobile photos experience. After spending a lot of time with the Instagram team over the last few months working on Open Graph, and over the last couple of weeks discussing this, it’s clear we share the same values and vision for the future of mobile photos.

We are committed to keeping the Instagram brand and growing their app independently. We will also continue on our FB Camera work. Over time we can build these two products to move closer together as it makes sense.

As always, feel free to ask me any questions you have about this at this week’s open Q&A.

Mark
