"Once a news outlet finds, say, a photo it wants to publish, Capture lets them send a rights request to the person who originally posted it. That person doesn’t have to have the Capture app downloaded to their phone to receive the request; the request simply comes to them through the social media site they used to post the photo. If they used Twitter, they’ll get the request in the form of a tweet from Capture. If they used Instagram, the request will come through as a photo comment."
"It's fair to come away from these metrics thinking that Twitter is worthless. But that's an unsophisticated conclusion. The more sophisticated takeaway is that Twitter is worthless for the limited purpose of driving traffic to your website, because Twitter is not a portal for outbound links, but rather a homepage for self-contained pictures and observations."
