Social media gets a lot of hype and media attention which may lead to many people thinking it is just a fad. Yet at the end of the day it does work and here’s a great video by Socialnomics that puts social media in context and illustrates the scale at which it is growing.

The above is the shortened version you can also view the full version here.

One of the differences between TopicShow and other photo sharing sites is that we don’t focus as much on having perfectly taken professional photos and the technical aspects of photography. Rather we start from the topic and ask what topics are you passionate about? Such as travel, boats, food, etc and then ask you to tell us a bit about the topic and add some photos to substantiate the topic. So don’t worry if you’re not a professional photographer or don’t have a fancy camera, your typical point and shoot in your pocket is perfectly fine and besides we make your photos look good anyway with our range of photo templates such as photo albums and photo collages that are super easy to use.

That being said one of the reasons we started the TopicShow was the huge rage around us about photography. It seems everyone left, right and center is buying a DSLR and comparing lens. So we do appreciate many people wanting to learn how to take better shots and learn photography skills. With that in mind we will add some tips on photography from our resident photography fanatics.

However, the important thing is to have fun on the site and showcase the  topics you love. Whether its breaking news and you’re there at the right time and place, or a local event you want to publicise, your own master chef recipe, your latest gadget or anything else. You can show it off here at the TopicShow – the easiest place to share topics and photos.
