Which might be long term as valuable, specially if they keep it centered around conversation[1].

Not sure if it’s going to take Instagram in a new direction or just wrap them into the larger Facebook picture. Aslo, I’m wondering if they’re going to leave the API open so sites like http://instagram.me can still function.

A core anchor of Facebook is photo sharing so extending that beachhead beyond the Facebook walled garden is super smart, IMHO.
