New to the scene of social media sites but a force to be reckoned with is picture\/link sharing website Pinterest, where users create \u2018boards\u2019 of various topics and \u2018pin\u2019 to it their favorite web pages, links, photos etc. For instance one could have a \u2018board\u2019 for recipes, and every day they add more links from other websites to it.<\/p>\n
Sounds a lot like the venerable social book marking website Delicious.com doesn\u2019t it? Yes indeed it does. You could say that Pinterest was the next step in evolution of social book marking.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, people can \u2018follow\u2019 other users of Pinterest and see what they are pinning (a la twitter), and then pin it on their boards, thus creating a domino effect.<\/p>\n
Plenty! Pinterest users spend a considerable amount of time looking for nifty things to pin, and if one of those was a photo, link, page of your website then that means quality and natural promotion of your business.<\/p>\n
1) 80% of users are women<\/p>\n
2) American users spend an average of 77 minutes on the site<\/p>\n
3) 10.5 million users<\/p>\n
You are just in time. Pinterest just recently (in the last few months) released \u2018business accounts\u2019, where now you can have your actual company and company name on Pinterest. Go here and make an account.<\/p>\n
