There are a lot more companies with a lot younger people. It is just like 23-year-olds are starting companies, and they are scaling really quickly.

It is cool to see that the fashion world has really taken to 'Instagram,' but, again, it is one of the many examples of many communities, whether you are a chef, a skateboarder, a surfer, a skier.

I run a business and go all over the world doing things for that business, things that are fairly orthogonal. But my job is to run my company, not to be the best Instagrammer. I'll let other people be awesome at it.

It turns out that no undergrad class prepares you to start a startup - you learn most of it as you do it.

If you've got an idea, start today. There's no better time than now to get going. That doesn't mean quit your job and jump into your idea 100% from day one, but there's always small progress that can be made to start the movement.

All of us in social media and regular media, we're all competing for the same thing, which is this gap between something happening in the world and you knowing about it.

'Instagram' is great if you want to share photos, but you're not that technical. Or, if you're not interested in sharing publicly, 'Instagram' becomes a place where you can not only consume photos and videos from musicians, or whoever, but send them directly to your friends.

The printing press did something really big for the world when everyone could get books in their hands and read.

Instagram is a media company. I think we're about visual media.

Photos were seen as the most private type of content, and 'Instagram' really flipped that on its head and said photos can be really public.
