Facebook acquires Instagram
Perhaps they found Instagram threatening. I'm betting they kill it now that they own it.

So you're betting that they just straight-up lied in their press release.

Correct - I don't believe them. I think they will merge the products to some degree and then let what's left of Instagram rot.

Definitely agree. The notion that they are lying so bare-faced is misguided.

The consensus seems to be that FB was more threatened by the prospect of google aquiring instagram than an independent instagram. Still though, that's a pretty penny to spend.
