Facebook to acquire Instagram, would iOS users still friend Android users?

Facebook announces the acquisition of Instagram for approximately $1 billion. From Facebook Newsroom:

MENLO PARK, CALIF.—April 9, 2012—Facebook announced today that it has reached an agreement to acquire Instagram, a fun, popular photo-sharing app for mobile devices.

The total consideration for San Francisco-based Instagram is approximately $1 billion in a combination of cash and shares of Facebook. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close later this quarter.

Would iOS users still friend Android user on Facebook? When Instagram for Android was released about a week ago some elitist iOS users were not too happy about it.

Twitter 4.0 for iPhone, extra steps to switch between accounts.

One thing I’m missing in Twitter 4.0 for iPhone is the ability to quickly switch between accounts. The new interface now adds one extra step. Previously you only have to tap the “Accounts” arrow on the top left of the app. With Twitter 4.0 for iPhone, you have to tap “Me”, scroll to the bottom of the page, then “Switch accounts”.
