Instagram For The Web Coming Soon? Online ‘View Profile’ Link Spotted In The Wild
You can’t take a desktop experience and shove it into a 3-by-4-in screen. It’s a very different behavior pattern. It’s a very different browse pattern. People interact with their phones very differently than they do with their PCs and I think that when you design from the ground up with mobile in mind, you create a very different product than going the other way.
Instagram took too much time to get on the Android platform, and it is a mistake it is not on the web already. But better late than never. Mobile is where the action is, but you ignore the web at your peril.

Facebook. As is well known
Facebook struggles in the mobile space.
If Instagram will have a hard time adopting the web, the two services will have a higher chance of melding.
