[...] I spotted a very interesting statistic on PSFK – Facebook now ranks as the top photo sharing website in the world. PSFK’s analysis of why Facebook has overtaken traditional photo sharing websites is very insightful: Perhaps it’s because people want to do more with their photos then just store and share them online…When users upload to Facebook, they’re giving their photos a context and bringing them into their social worlds. The photos, in some sense, become units of social capital. Users post photos onto Facebook not just to share them with others, but to serve as an extension of their online identities, as an element of the narrative they want to tell about themselves to their friends and network.

I think this touches on a larger concept, being the study of anthropologic and sociologic relations in the cyber age. A photograph is worth a thousand words but FB has adapted and transformed this old adage. Photos have been morphed into a form of spending time and a tool to deepen relationships with people who are not present in our daily, non electronic lives. People can now create a sense of identity and reality around these visual glimpses through tagging and personal comments. The applications of this phenomena, which is of a somewhat recent nature, I believe have yet to be explored to their fullest business potential.

[...] PSFK highlights a very interesting fact that Techcrunchies highlighted in a Rotor Blog report that highlights figures they found in a Caroline McCarthy article on CNET News. Let’s see if anyone highlights anything from this post. [...]

It makes sense, FB is a platform on which value is created (eg the apps), whereas Flickr is an application trying hard to create a platform.
