If you are someone who likes to publish original pics and vids online, there’s a name for you. You are a designer, according to research from the Pew Online and American Life Project. “Creators,” who publish pics and vids online that they made, make up 46% of Web customers. The 41% who collect movie clips they find elsewhere and publish on image-sharing websites are called curators.
“The Online has always been a foundation for makers and curators,” Pew Internet’s Joanna Brenner, co-author of the review, said in a declaration. “Now, as public networking solutions increase and increase, the tools are more visual and public, and that seems to be gaining special viewers of beginning adopters.”

For the first time, Pew scientists have asked questions about these public networking solutions, and their conclusions are not all that surprising. Females are more likely to use Pinterest than men, and youngsters are heavy Instagram customers.

Some 27% of the Web customers between ages 18-29 use Instagram, which is a photo-sharing assistance built around a smart phone app that allows customers to filter and shade pictures they have taken and then discuss them with those they are connected to through the assistance on pictures supply. Facebook recently bought the assistance.

The review is based on a phone survey of 1,005 grownups taken beginning last month.
