"Video arrived on Instagram today. It's a move that will probably not surprise anyone, given the rise of Vine over the last several months and the competitive natures of Facebook and Twitter.\nHowever, it also represents a fairly big shift from the Instagram that we've come to know. During his talk at Facebook's press event today, co-founder Kevin Systrom made sure to explain that video was always part of Instagram's plans. \nSEE ALSO: How to Create an Instagram Video in 7 Simple Steps\n\nSystrom talked about a time back in 2010 when he and co-founder Mike Krieger conceived of Instagram from the location-sharing app Burbn. \n\"We left video on the side,\" he said. \"Why is that? Because the three things we want to be really good at are speed, simplicity and beauty.\"\nAt the time, he explained, the technology wasn't there for video. Now, it absolutely is. \nWhile many \u2014 Systrom included \u2014 have expressed excitement about this development, others have understandably stated skepticism. We want to know your thoughts: Are you ready for your Instagram feed to become a mixed-media zone? Or would you have rather things stayed as they were?
