GigaOM Says Instagram Is Readying Private Messaging Features24 November 2013bzamayo.com/gigaom-says-instagram-is-readying-private-messaging-featuresGigaOM: Well-placed sources tell us that the company is gearing up to launch new private messaging features inside its still red-hot photo and video sharing service. It is also experimenting with the idea of group messaging, our source tells us. The new features are likely to find home in the next version of Instagram, which is expected before end of the year.
