Yesterday, social media giant Facebook made a huge investment in its mobile strategy by announcing it would acquire the popular photo-sharing application, Instagram, for a whopping $1Billion.

Harvey also notes that adopting the photo phenom may be a defensive play against Pinterest—a website that many brands have turned to as a new way to visually engage their consumers.
