Images Rule — Internet content has gone from long articles to shorter blog posts to even shorter Facebook posts to 140-character tweets. And finally to images via Pinterest and Instagram.

No Words Required — Images don’t always require any words or description.

Smartphones Rule — Mobile phones with cameras have made images even more popular.

Images Can Vary — Images can be graphics, photos, slides, videos, Vines, infographics, screen shots, and text-based images (quotegraphics)

People Interact with Images — People like to click on images, like them, share them, comment on them, and even save them.

Shared Content Dominates — 80% of content on Pinterest and Facebook is shared content. Only 20% is original.
