social media<\/a>. It\u2019s part of my job description. One thing that always comes up in my reading, as well as personal experience, is that images work. Almost always. Scientists have done studies to show that the eye is most often drawn to images in the Facebook Newsfeed. I\u2019ve also noticed they\u2019re the most likely to be Liked on my own Pages as well as the Pages I visit.<\/p>\nYes, camera phone technology has greatly improved in recent years. That being said, the camera on my iPhone 3GS is far inferior to that of my younger brother\u2019s iPhone 4. My phone camera takes mediocre pictures at best, even in perfect daylight. A tool like Instagram can hide that. It can hide the flaws in your camera phone images, and put forth a more professional-looking image.<\/p>\n
Facebook has no doubt seen the numbers as well. They understand the importance of images on their platform. They felt it was one billion dollars important to bring Instagram into their fold.
