Harvard Business School: Pictures are killer app of all online social networks

Interesting post from Mikolaj Jan Piskorski from Harvard Business School. The following excerpt is very similar to our elevator pitch :):

The biggest discovery: pictures. “People just love to look at pictures,” says Piskorski. “That’s the killer app of all online social networks. Seventy percent of all actions are related to viewing pictures or viewing other people’s profiles.”

True. However, majority posts on Facebook are about FarmVille, PetVille, MafiaWars, spam messages, etc. And on Facebook you can see only photos which are stored on Facebook. What about photos sent via email? What about photos shared via Flickr?

So this is pretty much why we built Showzey.
