A study on Facebook learned that photos are the best type of content to draw the highest-level of engagement while links draw the least...


Here's just a very quick article for you that once again emphasizes that videos, photos and visuals are essential to effective storytelling on the web.


Of the 300 brand pages, 150,000 posts, and 700 million likes in the study, photos drew the highest amount of engagement. And if a company wants content shared, then videos were the vehicle to make that happen.


There's a nice infographic in the article that I'm going to pin to my Pinterest board to keep handy.


Think about how you want to add more photos and videos to your website and content for greater engagement!


And thank you fellow curator Debra Askanase @askdebra for sending me this article.

Stories and Games Part 2: The Emotions of Play

Nonetheless, there is a powerful sense that the fun of a game and the fun of a story are different in some way. What is that distinction?


I love this post because it goes into depth about the nature of play, gaming and story sharing. It's a great romp through the imagination and another facet about why storytelling is so powerful -- whether you are sharing a business story or just sharing a story with friends.


I've long said that storytelling is deep play.  This article explains the how and why of that. The author talks here about the emotions of play he has identified and how that connects to our imagination -- and the imagination of our listeners when we tell a story.


This post is Part 2. Part 1 is about Stories and Games: Art. Can't wait to read that one next!
