It’s the best at social networking due to the amount of users and exposure you can get through there but not the best at sharing to other websites due to the low resolution.

We want to give a small project for those first listeners that want to start something and don’t know how:

* An easy project to start creating — spider webs. “So we talked about websites today, so lets take shots of spider webs. Best time to take a photo of them is to do so in the morning when due is on the web.” Upload your photo to Instagram with the hashtag #focuspointspodproject

* We want to see your work and give you a shout out on our next episode.
