Instagram launched for Android devices earlier this month and its download curve has been anything but slow. According to The Next Web, the photo editing and sharing application hit 10 million downloads in its first 22 days of existence on the platform. While it's no feat matching Angry Birds Space reaching 10 million downloads in three days, we're also only talking about one platform (Angry Birds Space reached that number across multiple platforms). The service itself is close to reaching 50 million users across all platforms, having hit the 40 million mark about two weeks ago and the 25 millionth mark back in March making it the biggest mobile only social network. When Kevin Systrom, creator of Instagram announced the availability of Instagram for Android coming soon at SXSW, he stated that the app had over 30 million users. Of course, the other big news in Instagram's recent history is its acquisition by Facebook. The social network bought the photo sharing service for a reported $1 billion and said that for the most part, they would not change Instagram's services too drastically.Click here for full story
