Brands and Timeline

http://mashable.com/2011/09/29/facebook-timeline-brands/#view_as_one_page-gallery_box2501


The idea of the images being a thousand words seem true the more I look into this, Dr John, Medina explores that there is a lasting impact on people' memories with images rather than words. This could lead to explain why there has been such a huge rise in popularity for sites such as instgram and tumblr. 
The article explores the notion of brands have to decide on Facebook weather they want to be places for communities to be created and involve themselves within this or to show all the hard sells and information on it. Maybe an idea would to be explore how Facebook talks about brands on there site?

The most two main points I take away from this is, Is the internet becoming an image based media? How does this effect quality? Then does small businesses actually need a designer to build them a website when Facebook timeline might be enough to explore their brand and services?
