I don't know about others, but I would rather Instagram stay separate to facebook. I know it's only messaging, but it's a step in that direction.

I would have faith in the survival of facebook if whatsapp and Instagram stay with their own brands, but this move seems suicidal in sullying them with the Facebook name.

This reminds me of when AIM/ICQ merged. Now they’re both gone, right?

AOL sold off ICQ about a decade ago. To mail.ru. I think they're still going. Fairly sure AIM is as dead as MSN.

When I first started going to Chine, after marrying my wife in 2002, everyone there that had a computer used MSN Messenger.
