This is another one of those cases that leaves me wondering why anyone would use the service (for the record: I don't). The story is a bit speculative, but is based on a patent application. "It seems that Instagram will allow users to add links to their posts but a pop-up will appear asking if the 'user wants to activate the link' for a fee." I put items like this into a category of "finding an alternative to advertising."
