Pinterest is the hottest new social media platform to hit
the web and its extreme popularity seemed to come out of nowhere. Six months ago people had never even
heard of this trend-sharing site but makers are boasting 11 million hits in one
week last month, 40 times what they were at that time. I am personally amazed
with Pinterst and could scroll the site all day.
What is Pinterest? It’s a social networking platform that gives
users their own “virtual pinboard”.
The site is highly visual and allows people to post or “pin” pictures of
things they like. Most of the photos
are absolutely breathtaking. From fashion to landscapes, crafts and recipe
ideas, the site is noticeably aimed at females. My guy friends have taken one look at it and wondered what
makes us love it so much.
Personally the fashion is a huge selling point. What are girls more interested in then
clothes, hairstyles, and nail polish? The site is chuck full of them and the
never-ending photos could keep a girl busy for hours.
As an exclusive “members only” site visitors must request membership
to have their own boards. Even
with this distinctive feature, hits are still climbing. I predict this is only
the beginning. Pinterest will be a
household name in no time.
