Dear Hivers

From now on, you no longer need to be an expert graphic designer or a photomontage ace to bring your illustrations to life and amplify the impact.

Photo sharing and online advertising are trends that are not going to be reversed, on the contrary. Neither does the near ubiquity of the internet and the rapid adoption of social media globally. Just like content marketing which seeks to enrich all forms of content .

With billions of photos constantly stored and shared , adding new features opens up new possibilities. Energizing visuals broadens the way we interact with web content. The image becomes a platform for engagement .

Although the concept of tagging photos is not new - Facebook, Flickr and others have been doing this for some time - there was a way to enrich the process by providing more information and linking possibilities. So there was a niche to be taken for a smart tool: Thinglink

How is ThingLink innovative? Because in addition to tagging an object in an image and linking it to a social network or a website, ThingLink allows you to integrate information, videos and sounds inside the image. You can watch a YouTube video or listen to music from SoundCloud by hovering the mouse over a point in an image and clicking a play button.

How it works
Thinglink allows you to add interaction to a simple image , by making small clickable tooltips appear . For each tooltip, you can add a description and a link. You can insert videos, locations via google maps, sounds, text, social media badges, and even other photos, in short all kinds of links .

Using ThingLink is a snap. Just download the image of your choice from your computer, facebook, flickr or the web. Then you click on a point and add a tag . If you add a link to Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube, for example, ThingLink automatically classifies the tag as such. All you need to do is copy and paste links and set the positions of the tags on the image.

An interesting feature makes it possible to integrate the images thus created in any site . To do this, copy and paste the embed code into the HTML part of your site, in the same way as you embed YouTube videos.

Thinglink integrates with most social networks or can be installed on your computer to create interactive images that you will insert into presentations or any other document that you would like to make interactive.

Finally, each image thus created has an "embed" code, which allows any Internet user to place the interactive image on their website or facebook page! Your image becomes viral since it is infinitely shareable… Huge potential for your communication on the internet.
