Zuckerberg: Ads On Instagram "When the Right Time Comes" 51
An anonymous reader writes "During his company's quarterly earnings call, Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg discussed how Instagram will be monetized. The answer isn't too surprising: there is a big expectation for the app to one day be profitable, and advertising will be the name of the game. 'Kevin [Systrom] has always been clear that we're building Instagram to be a business,' Zuckerberg said. 'We expect over time to generate a lot of profit from it. We think the right focus for now is to continue increasing the footprint of Instagram and, when the right time comes, we'll think about advertising.'"

Adblock Plus isn't catching them now, as they're randomizing the tag identities and refreshing periodically.
Because of obnoxious ads I abandoned Yahoo ages ago, this could drive me away from fb.
Great, they have to make their money on ads, I don't have to like it and if I can work a way to block them I will.

*slap palm on face*
I will for sure process my photos on my local harddrive. If you want my content to place ads on, then fucking buy it. Until then i will cash out the 2 Euro per year which is costs me to host my photo collection on amazon s3.
