This has nothing to do with technical aspects of images and their coolness but more of social and commercial aspect of your work. Why social networks wants your photo ?

Here is interesting video clip on it

I understand aspect of everyone's dog has a FB account, so whole world is there and it is easy to connect with others. So what do you think ? Do you share many of your images on FB and how you optimize those images to look best ? Have you looked at FB's image use policy before uploading your images onto FB ? e.g. once you upload images to FB does FB own those images or you still have full authority on your work ?
