Ask HN: Is there an opportunity now for an Instagram replacement?

6 points by jamesjguthrie 13y ago ↗ HN

If we can move quick enough, is there an opportunity for some of us to build an Instagram replacement?

Or do we expect the users that are leaving Instagram to switch to Flickr?

If there is an opportunity, who fancies building it with me?

The amount of users Instagram will lose from this ordeal is insignificant.

It's worldwide news today. It's TV news-worthy. You might be wrong.

The parent is going to be correct. Think about all of the privacy-related Facebook stories and they're fine with their one billion users. It could probably be argued Facebook committed more atrocious violations already.

It will be forgotten tomorrow.

There was always an opportunity for an Instagram replacement. All you have/had to to do was make it painless to move

Instagram doesn't even have a business model... why replace it? I don't imagine 1 billion sells for a pic app with no revenues happening again so soon...
