Instagram's Co-Founders Resign

Co-founders, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger resign from their post but didn't specify the reason for their departure. Kevin wrote on a blog that they want some time off to "explore their curiosity and creativity again".
Systrom was chief executive officer and Krieger was chief technical officer of the instagram app owned by Facebook Inc.

Reported by Bloomberg, there are clashes with Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg over the direction of Instagram and their announcement came after that.
Zuckerberg stated that,"I've learned a lot working with them for the past six years and have really enjoyed it. I wish them all the best and I'm looking forward to seeing what they build next".
In 2012, Facebook paid $1 million for the Instagram and it's worldwide revenue this year is likely to exceed $8 billion. Kevin Systrom told Recode last June that,"I see Mark [Zuckerberg] practice a tremendous amount of restraint in giving us the freedom to run, but the reason why I think he gives us the freedom to run is because when we run, it typically works".
