In recent history, the inclusion of captioning tools on image and video websites has become commonplace. This, I think, is a good thing. In addition to allowing users to further differentiate their content from others, subtitles are just plain fun.

Putting a title on a video on any number of popular video posting websites gives you the chance to explain your video even more and makes it a ton of fun. There are even easy-to-use social networking websites that allow people to “tag” their friends in photos, which, in addition to making people’s photos more organized, allows users to share with each other like never before. before.

In the past, selecting individual people in a photo was time-consuming and problematic for everyone involved. With new tools like this, the web has become even more accessible. Captioning photos, while endlessly fun, also has practical elements.

Business websites are greatly improved by the introduction of photos with captions. Informational websites, like the many wiki sites on the web, use subheadings to better convey information and even to display important details, such as the population of a city or the age of a famous musician. In that way, subtitles are very useful for the common businessman.

After all, at its core, captions are simply a way to attach information to an image. Personally, I think online captions do this job better than any other medium, and I hope websites continue to pioneer new ways to caption images in the future!
