Summary: The photo-sharing app, Instagram, is expanding beyond mobile phones. On Monday, Facebook made the announcement this announcement in a blog post. Instagram will now have a website to go along with their profile photo, bio and a few snapshots that have been recently shared on Instagram. 

Relevancy: With Facebook expanding it's photo sharing app on the web, those who design the sites will have to figure out a way for the app and site to seamlessly blend without any structural hiccups between the two. 

Quote: " Facebook has insisted since it bought Instagram this year that it will keep it running as a separate service. That still appears to be the case. The Instagram web pages don't link to Facebook and don't ask users to log in using their facebook accounts."
