ThingLink's Interactive Images Come to Facebook

Marketers just got a powerful new way to reach fans on Facebook: interactive images powered by ThingLink.

The popular interactive-image platform officially hit Facebook on Tuesday morning. That means posts there now let fans interact with content embedded "inside" an image — other photos, video or text blocks, for example — without leaving Facebook Timeline

ThingLink allows users — ranging from big national brands to someone like you or I — to enhance images with links to other selected pieces of content. When you hover over a main image, icons pop up to indicate the presence of additional content. Then, with a click, users can open YouTube videos, audio clips, other websites and virtually anything else that would previously have had to be linked to elsewhere.
