(Previously, Microsoft listed detailed download information for the Windows Store on the developer portal. Once I started covering the data, Microsoft first limited it, and then yanked it altogether. The company promised to keep developers up to date regarding the Windows Store. Thus far two blog posts have been produced in the nearly three-month intervening period. But I digress.)

joan_eInstagram is a daily habit for more than half of the photo-sharing social network's users, said co-founder Kevin Systrom at a press event Thursday.
He also said photos taken with the app has more than quadrupled from 86 billion in 2000 to 360 billion in 2011.
The main event of the press conference was the unveiling of Instagram direct messaging

Recent press reports have suggested that the photo-sharing social network is gearing up to introduce a private messaging service within its photo and video app. It also reportedly has been experimenting with group messaging.
Instagram has grown rapidly in the three years since it launched. With 150 million active users worldwide and a sale to Facebook for $1 billion last year, it recently started running advertisements in an effort to monetize its business.
