You're right about Instagram, I did forget them. That was a huge get. Was that skill or luck though?

Didn't they just buy it though? Then they proceeded to fuck it up just like they did to Facebook.

		Depends on your interpretation. Maybe? I think there's a fair case that Instagram wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't bought by Facebook. You could also level a similar question at Google about YouTube. I believe YouTube is one of Google's great successes (bias: I work at Google), and that it wouldn't have become what it is now outside of Google, but I think it would be hypocritical of me to not accept the same about Instagram.
