Announcing Instagram Profiles on the Web
The aesthetic similarity to Facebook is pretty striking. Now you really can
see
why Instagram was bought, and where it's headed.

My initial thought was "Wow, they really ripped off Facebook. How can they get away with this?"

I wonder if they are going to flip the "facebook photos is now instagram" switch some time soon?

The Facebook Camera app still hasn't been updated for the iPhone 5. Too bad, because it's an incredible app, much nicer than Instagram (which isn't horrible or anything).

Facebook released an update just today that integrates the features from the separate FB Camera app into the main FB app

The aesthetics are similar to Facebook probably because they're sharing the exact same design team.

Wrong. The designer of web profiles (Maykel Loomans) joined Instagram before the acquisition and this has been in the works for many months.
