The Instagram photo and video sharing platform has more than 300 million monthly active users, announced the company acquired by Facebook in 2012, on 10/12/2014. Instagram subscribers share nearly 70 million photos per day on the platform, and nearly 70% of its members live outside the United States. The platform now exceeds the social network Twitter, which claimed 284 million monthly active users in October 2014.

European clubs remain more popular on Twitter than on Instagram.
