One of the world's largest photo and video agencies, Getty Images, has announced The Feed, a way to surface images based on what's hot right now.
Most people who use Twitter for news gathering usually rely on text-only tweets or single images to keep up to date. A new tool called The Feed automatically searches the Getty Images database for photos associated with trending topics on Twitter, be they sport, entertainment or news images.
Using Twitter's API to gather current trends, photographic matches are posted to Getty's own dedicated Twitter feed and Facebook page, so you don't even need to leave your social-media presence of choice.
The Feed also has a presence on the Getty website. Users can drill down to see what's trending on either a global scale or locally in Australia.
