Pinterest is one of the hottest social media platforms of 2012. If you have a good idea, cool product or unique service with a quality visual to accompany it — you have an opportunity. The Pinterest community will help to spread the word.
Pinterest is a visual sharing community. People pin items they find interesting to their personal digital bulletin boards. Members often have multiple themed boards. Some people will collect ideas for their new home, create a visual grouping of material goals or collect craft ideas.
Community members may follow other members or boards they find interesting. They can repin or share their favorite pinned items found within the community or around the web.
One nice side effect of your images being pinned within Pinterest community are the search engine optimization (SEO) benefits. Pinterest links to the original webpage the photograph or graphic is located. Pinterest also delivers traffic from activity on their website from people interested in more information about the subject. For marketers and business owners that is good news for their product or service.
Other websites such as Quora are experimenting with similar bulletin board features. As with any new social media concept you never know what website will be the last standing, but for now Pinterest is worth your attention.
