In a recent post on All Things Digital, Instagram users on mobile devices have surpassed Twitter by over a million. With The acquisition of Instagram by Facebook, it seems that Facebook’s move into the mobile industry (and that does not mean a Facebook phone is coming out) is a direct attack against the Twitter populace.

Should Twitter be worried though?
Tweeting as opposed to Liking has always been a preference for most but what made Twitter popular was the social media platform’s mobile accessibility. Facebook had mentioned in a recent interview with TechCruch that the social media mogul’s campaign was to drive ad sales through mobile devices. Twitter appears to be falling to the wayside as Facebook continues to make statements like these but is that really the case?
Twitter is and has always been a platform to blast announcements at a rapid speed (hence tweeting). If Twitter latches onto its platform a similar photo program to Instagram then maybe the numbers you see today will flip flop bringing Twitter back to the top. I can’t imagine an older photo sharing program like Flickr would do the trick though. Maybe a new app called PhotoCrop or PicIt or something moderately clever. Is Twitter in jeopardy or is this another cry for popularity?
