Systrom knows the scoreRelated storiesInstagram is deleting some language in its new terms, but ads are still comingInstagram adds Facebook-style tagging with Photos of YouInstagram user figures revealed: photo service bigger than GermanyInstagram finally has a feature that it's long been missing: support for video.

Motion pictures of up to 15 seconds can now be captured via the Instagram app, version 4.0.0, and while Video on Instagram now turns its 130 million monthly users into time-constrained film makers, a few questions remain.
Systrom addressed a number in a post-press conference Q&A at Facebook's Menlo Park headquarters earlier today.

"I think it's an artistic choice, honestly," Systrom said of which video length is preferable. "I don't think that one is better than the other.
"Depending on the length of time you give the user, you're going to get different content.
"In our testing, we tried a bunch of different lengths, and we came out on 15 seconds as that Goldilocks moment of, it feels just right.
