BEIJING, Sept. 23 (Xinhuanet) -- U.S. social network company Instagram announced lately that it now has 400 million users.
Instagram users, who share pictures and videos, soared from 300 million at the start of this year and tops the number of people using Twitter monthly by nearly 100 million.
Analysts said 400 million users is a good number to publicize. It shows the company is doing better than Twitter, which has 316 million monthly active users and is still going through a rocky phase as it struggles to find a permanent CEO.
Along announcement of milestone user numbers, the Facebook-owned company said more than 75 percent of those "Instagrammers" live outside America, more than half live in Europe and Asia.
Instagram also highlighted its non-U.S. celebrity users, including David Beckham from the UK, Indonesia's Raffi and Nagita, German soccer player Toni Kroos and South Korea's T.O.P..
