Will Oremus writes in his article about the fight between Instagram and Twitter, and how rivalry can cost one of the sides many users. He begins his article by telling readers about how Facebook, after buying the photo-sharing service in April, promised his users that they would be able to share their picture in other social networks. He goes on to explain that when Instagram posts photos on Twitter, twitter gets more and more known and Instagram less and less. He also states an ironic sentence explaining how Instagram will allow sharing with Twitter, but not their photos. He comments on a very important comment that Systrom; creator of Instagram, says in the interview "Sorry, Instagram users, but we're sacrificing your convenience because we can't afford to keep subsidizing our biggest rival." Oremus continues by saying that Systrom has a very big future ahead for Instagram and it doesn't only come by sharing it to other social networks. Oremus finalizes his article, by explaining that all the social networks are clawing for a targeted-ad revenue, but user experience are always subject to revision.

In this article Oremus shows readers, the new war between to very known social networks, Instagram and Twitter. He uses very clear and right to the point tone of vice, explaining how this may affect both networks and their users. Oremus uses an interview with Kevin Systrom, on why he is not going to allow Instagram users to share photos to Twitter. He uses simple words, and his public are the "users." He has very stung evidence to show refers how Systrom may be doing a very big mistake, when not allowing his user to share anything but photos. As Oremus ends his article he says that even though Instagram will not allow users to share they're "filters", Twitter already are coming up with their own. Oremus ends his article with a very shocking statement that not only puts a lot of power in the users hands but also that the revenue that social-media want, lay in the hands of users experience.
