Interactive Images In Tweets: Good Idea Or Information Overload?

A picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes… but apparently the folks at ThingLink feel that it couldn’t hurt to add a few words to the pics we share on Twitter. They’ve created interactive images that can be shared in a tweet.

As Mashable reports, ThingLink images in tweets appear as regular images with small icons strategically placed throughout the image. When hovered over, these icons expand to let users click over to a YouTube page, Facebook status, contact form, audio clip or any other piece of digital material you can link to.
