Instagram Pigs You Should Be Following!

As you all know over here at Cobb Digital we are pretty animal mad. Particularly over cats, but there are enough ‘cats to follow’ blogs out there.
When Sir Tim Berners-Lee was asked recently what surprised him the most after 25 years of his extraordinary invention, the World Wide Web, he replied, “I never thought there would be so many cats.”

So why are animal social networks so popular?

As long as social media exists there will always be a demand for pet lovers to talk about, share images of, and introduce to the greater community, the lives of their joyous furry friends. Let’s face it the online world would be a much gloomier place without their existence. CBS reported that 15% of all Internet traffic is cat-related, this just gives an insight into how much making an animal friendly marketing campaign could help increase that all important Klout. Klout Score is a number that represents your social media influence. The more influential you are, the higher your Klout Score.
