After a long day yesterday, trying to figure out what caused Instagram to just turn against all of its users, 7 hours ago, Instagram posted an official blog announcing their intentions and that the Terms of Use wording will change to reflect the actual things they're going to do with your name and likeness.
As I guessed yesterday, Instagram is doing exactly what Facebook has been doing. Those brands that you follow can pay Instagram so your friends can see their pictures while your name and profile picture shows as a follower (if you are), giving your friend another reason to follow.
I'm glad this changed fast, and that Instagram fixed its Terms of Use based on all of the buzz they received in one day. I wouldn't be surprised if thousands of accounts already deleted their profiles from Instagram already because of this. Hopefully 2013 will be a better year for Instagram. Yes, even better than what it already has!
