Twitter attempted to buy Instagram before Facebook acquired it for $1 billion, according to The New York Times. Jack Dorsey, Twitter co-founder and early Instagram investor, tried to secure the app months before Facebook's deal. Despite frequently using Instagram, Dorsey stopped posting after the acquisition.

The deal has reignited concerns about a tech bubble, as Instagram had not yet generated revenue. Mark Zuckerberg has committed to keeping the app, which has 40 million users, operational.

This is Jack Dorsey. He’s a minimalist in life and work. He once said: "You can worry about the competition...or you can focus on what's ahead of you and drive fast." Here’s how this minimalist philosophy powered two billion-dollar companies: 1.
