The man responsible for Facebook chat, News Feeds and the layout of Facebook as you know it is taking his creative “genius” to Instagram.

Star product manager, Peter Deng, has joined Instagram as its first director of product, and sees a lot of the same issues with Instagram that Facebook experienced in 2007. Peter said:

Having seen the evolution of that, I see a lot of the same exact challenges on the horizon for Instagram right now.

Facebook took over Instagram in April 2012, and more and more employees from Facebook seem to be migrating to the photo service.

How Deng’s changes will come to bear on the world’s most popular photosharing service remains to be seen.
