How Imgur is on a Mission to Spread Happiness Across Internet
Online sharing community Imgur is on a mission to provide an uplifting user experience, and differentiate itself from other social platforms like Facebook and Instagram. The company's COO Roy Sehgal explains how Imgur is rolling out new products to its user base.
According to a survey of Imgur users, two out of three respondents say they leave the site feeling happier than before. 74 percent agreed the site makes them feel better than other mainstream social media networks.
