Instagram may be planning to develop a full-on web presence. Web designer Cole Reinke found an interesting link on Instagram's website that suggests the company may be testing an expanded version of its app.

Currently, Instagram's site is very basic, to say the least. Users can do things like change their password and edit their profile. But Reinke found the pictured link to "View Profile" when he was recently on the site.

When we just logged onto to the site, we were unable to see the same link.

A little more than two years ago, the first photo was uploaded the social network, which started out as a simple, free iOS app. Now, around 50 million mobile users have uploaded more than 1 billion photos to the service.

Facebook's purchase of the service for $1 billion in April arguably started an acquisition spree by tech companies that is still going strong even today.

While the link is not exactly concrete proof, there may be mixed feelings about Instagram's move to the web. It was really designed as a mobile product and definitely shines on the iPhone.
