New York: With 300 million active users, photo sharing site Instagram has moved ahead of Twitter in terms of users.

Instagram beats Twitter in active users

Nine months after it reached the 200 million user mark, Instagram now says it has 300 million people using the service every month, TechCrunch reported.

The app now beats Twitter`s 284 million active users, as per the figures on the microblogging website.

Twitter added about 38 million users since March while Instagram boosted its count by 100 million.

"Over the past four years, what began as two friends with a dream has grown into a global community," Kevin Systrom, Instagram CEO, was quoted as saying in media reports.

Instagram users share 70 million photos every day and it has a base of 30 billion photos.

The website now has plans to launch verified badges for celebrities, brands and athletes, like Twitter, to increase its credibility.

Now, watch YouTube videos offline

Mumbai: Video sharing website YouTube Thursday launched an offline viewing service to help users download videos they can watch later, to overcome handicaps posed by low bandwidth and high costs of data plans.

Now, watch YouTube videos offline

Under the service, which went live in India, Indonesia and the Philippines today, a user can click on the special icon on the site when she is either in a wi-fi zone or a place with good data connectivity, and download a video which can be watched later.

The downloaded videos can be watched as many times within 48 hours and the advertiser's interests have been protected through an innovation wherein the advertisement appears before a playback of the video, like it would for online usage.

The US-based internet advertising giant said a large number of videos are already available and the company is speaking to more content partners to opt for this service.

Once the device connects back to the internet, analytics around the number of times the video was watched will be transfered to the YouTube servers.

It can be noted that already, there are a slew of applications available online which let users download videos to be watched offline, but Google India's managing director Rajan Anandan stressed that this is illegal and amounts to piracy of content.

About the need for such a service, he said the mobiles growth has resulted in a situation where we have a large user base, which is estimated to touch 300 million by year-end, but India is "starved" for bandwidth while the data plans are also costly, making it tough to watch videos seamlessly.

"There will not be any difficulties around buffering if you use this service," he added.

At present, YouTube has 60 million users in the country, while on the content front, there are 10,000 Indian films, 20,000 TV shows and 2.5 lakh songs which are available online, the company said.

Anandan said that 58 million of the approximately 300 million internet users are on the low-speed 2G networks and added that a bulk of the new additions are on the mobile, which do not offer the same speed as broadband.

Already, 40 per cent of the traffic on YouTube comes from a mobile device, and hence, there is a need for some alternate solutions, YouTube's vice president for engineering John Harding said.

On revenue from partnerships, Google India is placed fifth globally and aspires to be among the top three soon, its regional director for partnerships, Ajay Vidyasagar said.

When asked if the telcos should fear a cut in business due to services like these, Anandan said the service will be "additive", as it will grow the number of video watchers and the revenues of such companies will not be impacted.

On the impending launch of a faster 4G service, and its impact on the service, Anandan exuded confidence that the country will always be "capacity constrained" and there will be a need for such a service.
