“Teens love photos,but they hate text.”

- blog.garrytan.com

“For the most part, many businesses and organizations have been posting text-heavy status updates...

That makes sense in text-based Twitter, but not so much in Facebook. In fact, Facebook best practices show that when you do one simple thing – add a photo or video to your post – engagement increases by 100% or more.”
