Here's a nice example of a brand recognizing current trends and having a little fun in a way that makes sense. REI picked up on the recent pop-culture obsession with all things zombie related and the Internet's insatiable appetite for yet another infographic (not that there's anything wrong with that). They created an infographic depicting the 13 must-have pieces of zombie survival gear, all of which can be easily obtained from your helpful friends at REI.

So this isn't exactly breaking news, but people really like looking at pictures online. In fact, posting and viewing photos happens to be the number one activity on Facebook by a wide margin. What's more, articles containing relevant images have 94% more views than articles without images. And when it comes to e-commerce, 67% consumers say that the quality of the images of the product are very important when considering a purchase online.
So because it's Friday and because you like photos and because you people can never get enough stats for your presentation decks, I give you this infographic about the not so secret life photos of online.
Enjoy!
