82 223 308 385 | Bye Facebook, hello Instagram: Users make beeline for Facebook-owned social network, March 22, 2018


Instagram, which Facebook bought in 2012 for $1 billion, is having a moment — and just in time to be a lone bright spot for its parent company, which is in crisis over its handling of people's private information.

More than two dozen social media users surveyed in recent weeks by USA TODAY say Instagram is now their favorite social network. With feeds filled with inspirational pictures and a chummy vibe, it's their happy place — or at least a whole lot happier than Facebook.

But, as more of their friends join the #DeleteFacebook movement, some Instagram junkies are getting worried. Facebook-like problems, such as trolls, political conflicts and judgmental friends, are already cropping up on Instagram. There are also more and more ads, they fret, plus lecherous or spammy messages and "fake" news and followers.

And now they say they have bigger, scarier concerns. They fear that third parties may have gotten access to their data on Instagram without their knowledge or permission, just like on Facebook. And they are starting to wonder if Instagram, which already was a target of Russian interference, will become even more treacherous in the midterm elections.



Kevin Systrom known as the co‑founder of Instagram along with Mike Krieger.

From Kevin Systrom's birthday (12/30/17) to the date of this article and with the whole #deletefacebook going around (3/22/18) is a span of 82 days exactly.

Counting the end date, it is exactly 83 days.

It is also a span of 2 months and 22 days.

2 months and 23 days counting the end date, like 223, like today's date March 23, 2018, date written 3/22 or 22/3

On the bottom right hand corner, you will see that it is a span of 11 weeks and 5 days, like 115.

From the date of this article to Kevin Systrom's next birthday (12/30/18) is a span of 283 days.
283 is the 61st prime number

Also right below, you will see that it is a span of 9 months and 8 days, like 98, 9 months and 9 days, including the end date.


Troubling disclosures that Cambridge Analytica used vast amounts of data from Facebook to build profiles of American voters to help Donald Trump's campaign have spurred some Facebook users to delete their accounts and seek refuge on Instagram. But even before Cambridge Analytica hijacked headlines, social media users told USA TODAY they've been spending less time on Facebook and more time on Instagram, especially since the presidential election.

Facebook is "compromised," therefore resulting in a wave of people shifting social media platforms from Facebook to other such as Instagram, which is owned and operated by Facebook. Hm.. makes sense.. NOT
Gosh, people are so stupid sometimes.

  1. Hi Dravke, did you catch the story about U Bolt crossing over to soccer?
    He has a training session with Borussia Dortmund (of all teams where the bus attack occurred)
    Of course the story is published on 3/22.
