The Impact of Images

One of the most enjoyable aspects of being so involved with Social Media over the past 2 weeks has been some of the amazing images I have come across. The one in this post of San Francisco came up on Twitter this morning. It is a great way to quickly see what is happening all over the world and with smartphones now having high quality cameras inside the old saying "a picture tells a thousand words" has never been more true.

In fact one of the article I came across this week explained the high use of Infographics in Social Media is due to the easily digestible nature of the content. So much so, Infographics are the new standard for displaying information. I'm not sure this is a good thing as being able to interpret data is a vital skill but it is a lot nicer to look at Infographics then the old black and white tables.
