Instagram’s User Count Now At 40 Million, Saw 10 Million New Users In Last 10 Days

Instagram received a fair amount of press over the last week. First, 10 days ago, the app launched on Android. Then news of Facebook buying the tiny startup for $1 billion was everywhere from the Drudge Report to The Daily Show. The attention resulted in explosive growth. Since the launch of its Android app, Instagram’s user base grew from 30 to 40 million. That’s over 1,000,000 new users a day.

Democracy is good thing. Instagram opening up on Andorid proves the point.
