Thanksgiving day was a record-breaker for Instagram
Thanksgiving is now over for those of us in the United States and Black Friday is well under way. While we won't know retail sales figures for the number one shopping day of the year for a few days, we do now have a staggering figure from the holiday itself. Thanksgiving was a big day for photo-sharing service Instagram. In fact, it was the single biggest day in the service's history.
Instagram, which became popular with iPhone users and then expanded to Android before being purchased by Facebook, has grown steadily, but the recent holiday provided a huge boost to the service and I am proud to say that my daughter and I were both contributors to this monumental moment (my humble contribution to the record is posted above).
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone
We would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, and extend our thanks for your continued support to BetaNews! We will all be with our families today, as we hope you are. Don't forget to pass the stuffing to Grandma and make sure to count, and recount all of your blessings! We look forward to some continued improvements to BetaNews, and hopefully some additional reporters as well. Save some room for pumpkin pie, and have a great holiday!
