great it's Instagram with a business model... Smart move from Dropbox and Snapjoy ... I guess Dropbox is going to be your main smart and easy to use hard drive in the cloud... That's a serious business if they are able to pull that off..

ugm, that "serious" business (I don't think they make money as of today) competes with Google.. you know, THE google, that gives you 5GB free, instead of D-B 2.

I say they have serious _competition_. But serious business -- not so much.

They made 240 million last year in revenue. Not sure about what their burn rate is but they seem to be on the up and getting integrated into a lot of applications which improves their tie ins.

Google gives away their storage but it is nowhere near the level of ease as Dropbox for non-technical people IMHO.
