So What Is Pinterest?
Pinterest is the “new” viral image sharing social media site that aims to “connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find interesting” and they seem to be accomplishing that.
People pin what they like onto online virtual boards (called pinboards). And those who like the same kind of things that you like can repin or share the items thus the social and communal aspect of Pinterest. “Like-minded” people come together and share visually appealing photos and videos.
The site has more females than males (some reports says the ratio is about 60/40, others say it is more like 80/20) but in case you think that only recipes and accessories are pinned, big companies like Whole Foods, Ann Taylor, Yale University, Huffington Post, Etsy, NGO, Media, Healthcare are already on Pinterest.
