Getting Started:

Launched in 2010, ThingLink is a platform used for creating an interactive image that comes alive using text, images, movies, music, and more.  ThingLink allows you to use an image, from the web or from your computer to add the links and information.  You add information by inserting dots (called tags) on the image that will show viewers the content and a link to more information.  You will want to plan out the image you wish to use and the content/links that you want to combine.  Many publishers and bloggers use ThingLink to share links and boost advertising.
