Bonus stats: Instagram up 40% in Jan, 300k MAU, 35k DAU (lower bound estimate based on Facebook app activity)

In this case, as a mobile app, there’s very little data about how many folks are using it. Facebook’s data gives us unprecedented detail.
Here are the graphs, from AllFacebook – you can see they’re on a nice growth curve and doing quite well:
